Although the rain did not stay away for the whole movie we did manage to keep screening til the end and it did not stop a community getting together and having a great time. By the time we were packing down a few stars were out and the sky was clearing. I didn't get a heap of first day photos but here are a few. Keep sending them in and I'll get them into the school archive for the 175th in five years time! Can be emailed to [email protected] or messaged in to this page.

It looks like the rain will pass by in time for us to set up tonight at Clifton Terrace School and screen Paddington. We'll go ahead either way but we may move inside the hall if the rain hasn't passed by in time. There will be food available from 6:30pm as a fundraiser prepared by the Home and School Group. See you there!

Looking forward to this one. Such a great movie!

The Waimea Youth Council is launching its first major event of the year with an outdoor movie night at the Richmond Aquatic Centre.

How to Train Your Dragon is the story of a hapless young Viking who aspires to hunt dragons and becomes the unlikely friend of a young dragon himself, and learns there may be more to the creatures than he assumed.

The event on Friday 27 February starts at 7.30 pm with games and entertainment, plus food carts so you can grab a bite to eat before kicking back and enjoying the movie which starts at 8.30 pm. Gold coin donation entry.
.. And the other big news for the young people of Richmond is that the new Richmond Youth Hub will officially be opening on a trial basis.

On Wednesday 4 March, between 4.00 pm and 6.00 pm, the café area of the Richmond Aquatic Centre will become a drop-in and hangout space for local young people.

The idea of a youth space has been on the cards for years, but there hasn’t been an ideal place to create it. However, with the cooperation of the Aquatic Centre’s operators CLM, it’s about to become a reality for the next three to six months.

The Youth Council’s vision is to simply have a place to hang out with others of their own age in a place where they are comfortable and safe.

It seems that somewhere on the interweb the docudrama we screened today at the event was listed as being on tonight at 8:30pm ... Sorry to anyone effected by this. You can watch the whole series here.

What Really Happened - Waitangi - This docudrama follows an imaginary news reporter who travels back in time to cover the days leading up to the Treaty of Waitangi’s signing on 6 February 1840. Dropping the usual solemnity surrounding Aotearoa’s founding document, it uses humour and asides to ca...
