Hi Leanne here. The Big Steal is one of my favourite nostalgic Australian movies (topped off by Love Serenade).

Throughout March Yarra City Arts and Umbrella Entertainment are hosting ‘Neighbourhood Watch’ - sunset movies 🎥 🍿 in the linear park north of Park Street, where it intersects with Nicholson Street, in North Fitzroy.

The Merger is coming up this weekend … a movie about resurrecting a country footy team (it is a movie I’ve always wanted to see). There’s live music and food just around the corner at the Nicholson Street shops … and the weather forecast is looking pretty good 👍.

Maybe you’d like to go too?

Don’t forget! … and the Dog Show 🐩 . Find out more here.

We’re pretty excited to be getting some new outdoor furniture delivered on Monday … the remaining table out on the corner that Bunnings donated to us a few years ago has seen lots of love but is at the end of it’s life I think (it’s so wobbly and has already been repaired once).

We purchased the two new tables using funding that came in the form of a ‘voucher’ from the Victorian Government to help us deliver more activities outdoors. We hope you enjoy them!

We had 14 people along for our visible mending workshop with local textile artist Serene on Saturday.

Serene provided introduction kits, lots of gorgeous samples and real life inspiration for patching and darning across a variety of fabrics, basic information on needles and thread (the tools of the trade), practical help with particular projects and also directed participants to great resources such as books from the library for further ideas and skill development.

It is just wonderful that so many people in our community are interested in learning and exploring new skills that help keep items out of hard rubbish.

Hello,

With the Alphington Show community day around the corner we need to ask for some help.

If you are free we would really appreciate some assistance with our sausage sizzle!

Please email us here with the time you are available to help between 10.30am -2pm on March 26th.

Thankyou!
