THINK GLOBAL - ACT LOCAL

Hi all,

Sorry for the late notice, but the Wgtn South groups is going along to the opening night of the Reel Earth Film Festival (put on by Forest and Bird) at the Paramount at 6pm, Thursday 20 November. $20 (includes free wine!). Call Paramount to book on 04 3844080.

Everyone welcome! I guess we'll be milling round upstairs just before the screening (sorry that's pretty vague, just come say hello if you think we look like TT suspects), and we'll probably go for a drink/cheap kai afterwards. Come along!
