  • Enjoy Free Outdoor Cinema screenings this week as part of The Lakes Festival. "Finding Dory" is screening on Thursday (15 November 5pm-11pm) and "Jumanji" is on Friday (16 November 5pm-11pm). The beach is there for a pre-show swim and the reserve is home to a small kids playground, so children will be well entertained before the sun sets. You can bring a picnic or grab Mexican, poutine, ice cream and eclairs from the food stalls. The films will start at sunset – approximately 8pm. Where: Young Street Reserve, Bush St, Norah Head. Ages: All ages. Cost: Free! Food available to purchase. Tips: Bring blankets and warm gear, as is can get surprisingly chilly.
  • 🎉 We are super excited to announce the winner of our Vuly trampoline comp: Congratulations to the Mountain Community Children's Centre. The centre's buildings were destroyed by fire a year ago and they've since been operating out of a temporary location while they rebuild. They've been fundraising for the past year to be able to replace the many things they lost in the fire: toys, tables, chairs, nappy changing tables, bikes, teaching resources, art and craft items, etc. We are so excited to know that this fabulous trampoline will be used by so many local children and that it can be used in both their temporary facility and new centre. Thank you to Giselle Lindley for making this lovely nomination. 🏀 And a very big thank you to @vulyplay for running this incredible competition with Playing in Puddles. If you're looking for an awesome addition to the backyard this Christmas, check out the Vuly range here: https://www.vulyplay.com We read through hundreds of fabulous entries and some truly beautiful poems - thank you to everyone who entered. We'll be announcing a new comp at the end of the week: stay tuned!
