New Banjo Paterson Park bench installed

High winds force 4th Moonlight Cinema event indoors
Most of the crowd had already assembled and were sitting comfortably under a balmy evening sky ready for the 4th installment of the Lynbrook Moonlight Cinema on Saturday, but despite all the best efforts on the part of the organisers, the high winds prevented use of the LRA’s huge inflatable screen. Fortunately, the LRA enacted their Plan B and swiftly relocated the crowd into the Lynbrook Primary School Performing Arts Centre. Being the first time this has happened, there were a few gremlins but these were eventually brought under control and the showing of The Muppets proceeded as planned and was enjoyed by all. City of Casey Mayor, Cnr. Amanda Stapledon, attended the performance and was on hand to draw the LRA member prize and to say a few words at the end of the performance.
