Twilight Cinema – 1 December
Get excited as our amazing Twilight Cinema is back next week. This year is going to be bigger than ever, we have an amazing classic movie, inflatables, pizza, chips on sticks, burgers, fairy floss, popcorn, gelato, treats, hair braiding, face painting, market stalls and possibly even a photo op with Santa!
Tickets can be purchased here: https://events.humanitix.com/twilight-cinema-south-coogee-2023
As always, we rely heavily on our fabulous volunteers to make these events happen. We put in many, many hours of work to bring these events to life, so if anyone can spare just an hour or two on the night we would be so appreciative. We have plenty of jobs available, from helping on a stall, to manning the doors, to cooking on the BBQ and plenty more. Please sign up here: https://signup.com/go/mSZMPcA
We look forward to seeing you there, in the sunshine!
The P&C would also like to thank our sponsors, without whom we would not be able to put on such amazing events:
We are so excited to be partnering with Orthoboutique as our naming sponsor this year. Dr Tee and his team come from a new generation of orthodontists who emphasise on the application of digital orthodontics and novel technologies in routine orthodontic diagnosis, planning and treatments (for both braces and clear aligners) in order to provide precise and ideal outcome with long term stability. Their principal orthodontist will exclusively look after you in every each visit throughout the entire process of orthodontic treatments, starting from a consultation, appliances placement, following adjustment visits, retainers check up and so on. There is no delegation to dental nurses nor dental hygienists. You will not be seen by a team like in the other bigger practices. You will be treated by only one principal orthodontist who initiates and fully understands the treatment plan of your case. This will ensure a timely progress and finest outcome with your orthodontic treatment.
Our other Major Sponsor is Theo Karangis from NG Farah Coogee. Bringing N G Farah to the beach in 1999 as Licensee-In-Charge of the new Coogee office, Partner Theo Karangis has been instrumental in the company’s expansion. Sitting at the gateway to Coogee Bay Road’s famous café strip, the office has enjoyed exponential growth under Theo’s management. A dedicated sales agent for over 30 years, Theo has enjoyed many career highlights with a keen focus on residential sales and project marketing. He is loyal, with strong family values and a deep respect for the community.
- Numerous NG Farah annual awards
- Randwick City Council Business Excellence Award Winner
- Member of the Real Estate Institute of NSW
- Diploma In Business (Real Estate Management)
We are thrilled to be partnering this year with Sahara Trails and their accommodation in Nelsons Bay. A wonderful weekend away from the City, they offer a variety of rides for differing skill levels and duration.
Sahara Trails HORSE RIDING Port Stephens, offers something for everyone. They have been providing safe and fun riding experiences since 1988, from the absolute beginner to the most experienced rider.
