Christmas surely must be approaching as the weeks ahead are full of functions and ‘fun’ -

TODAY at the Arts Centre the movie showing is “Wadjda’ -  an enterprising Saudi girl signs on for her school’s Koran recitation competition as a way to raise the remaining funds she needs in order to buy the green bicycle that has captured her interest.

The times 10.30am then 7pm in the Tin Shed Theatre, then again on sunday next at 5pm.

ALSO,  in the Stephen Ward Rooms today, commencing at 2.30pm.

Trevor Coles from the Junee Correctional Centre will be  guest speaker, and will tell  about activities there.  This will be an excellent opportunity for folk to learn about the Correctional Centre, as it is one of only a few privately run establishments of its kind in Australia.

TOMORROW Alison Patterson and Geraldine Ryan present their students and Cootamundra Band members in   “An End of Year Celebration of MUSIC”  at the Arts Centre commencing at 5.30pm -  then again on Friday at 7.30pm. ALL are  most welcome to come along and tickets are available at the door.

FRIDAY again in the Stephen Ward Rooms the U3A will present a ‘Golden Oldie’ movie ‘The Naked Spur’ starring  James Stewart.

Also a Free Fashion Parade will take place in the Anglican Hall commencing at 2pm  this Friday -  all are most welcome to come along, with Afternoon Tea to follow in CC’s.

UNTIMELY PASSING

I received this  note from Judy Jordan on the untimely passing of her brother Brian O’Neill -

  ‘It is with heavy hearts that we would like to let friends know of the sudden passing of Brian Robert O’Neill aged 50.

A much loved Father, Son, Brother, Husband, Uncle, Cousin and good mate.

A Funeral service will be held on 20th November 2014 at Bendigo Chapel at 2pm.

So greatly missed, forever remembered and never forgotten, your light will shine bright for all those that love you.’

SYMPATHY is extended to the O’Neill family at this sad time.
