End of year celebration and December movie night

Join us for a special end of year movie and celebration. In lieu of our Christmas Picnic, come join us for some food and drinks at the Stirling Arms from 6 pm and then stay for this Christmas themed movie – What Would Jesus Buy?

WWJB poster

“An examination of the commercialization of Christmas in America while following Reverend Billy and the Church of Stop Shopping Gospel Choir on a cross-country mission to save Christmas from the Shopocalypse (the end of humankind from consumerism, over-consumption and the fires of eternal debt.) The film also delves into issues such as the role sweatshops play in America’s mass consumerism and Big-Box Culture. From the humble beginnings of preaching at his portable pulpit on New York City subways, to having a congregation of thousands – Bill Talen (aka Rev. Billy) has become the leader of not just a church, but a national movement.”

Please RSVP via Eventbrite to help the kitchen know how many to expect.

As usual, the second Tuesday of the month – Tuesday 9th December

The Stirling Arms Hotel, 117 James street, Guildford

Join us for food and drinks and celebrate the year from 6 pm onwards, Movie starts at 7 pm

Clean Up Australia Day 2014

Thanks to everyone who took part in our Clean Up Australia day in March 2014.

It was a new record for people and rubbish – 66 people took part and we collected over 24 bags of recycling and 32 bags of rubbish!

Not to mention 1 fax machine, 2 shopping trolleys, 1 car battery, 4 tyres, 2 gas bottles, containers of engine oil, and mounds of fencing wire from the Helena River.

A special thanks to Lindsay Baxter and the Guildford Association for co-hosting again. And thanks to Ian and Caroline for leading the South Guildford team along West Parade, which yielded the majority of new bulky items.

As always, thanks to the Guildford Primary school community and students for taking part and the Guildford Bakery for making delicious post clean up scones 🙂
