Dayboro Lions Community Movies.
Can’t win ‘em all.

The monthly movies are operated as a social community event, and we endeavour to provide wholesome movies within 6 to 10 weeks of first screening.  They are delivered from the main distributor, we use a professional projectionist, and the cost to us is over $500 per movie.   They are chosen often long before release, and on the basis of recommendation, seeing the trailer, and reading many reviews.

My favourite place was the quaint town of Chemainus which is famous for its 30+ murals on the buildings around the township.

Mt MEE NEWS Nov 08

by Ian Wells
It is with sadness that I report the death of Dan Wruck of Hausmann Rd in a farm accident last month.  Dan was a very good friend and neighbour and we miss his cheery grin very much.
The season continues its amazing run – each time it begins to look dry we get rain and the cattle are doing wonderfully well.  Let’s hope that the weather continues to behave as it did in the good old days.
