MRS HENDERSON PRESENTS (M) 11.00 am, Thursday 27 October

Belarus

All tickets $8 including complimentary morning tea With some money in her pocket after the death of her husband, Laura Henderson (Judi Dench) buys a theatre and hires the irascible manager Vivian Van Damm (Bob Hoskins). Henderson has a hit on her hands when she adds beautiful nude women to the stage shows at her Windmill Theatre. Though they are touched by tragedy, Henderson and her company bravely keep the theatre active during the 1940-'41 Blitz of London.

A new Telecommunications Infrastructure Support Guide explaining the NBN rollout and Mobile Black Spot Program was recently launched. The Support Guide has been specifically designed to assist businesses and community groups to better understand how they might be affected by telecommunications infrastructure roll-outs planned for the region and, importantly, how they might contribute to the development of telecommunications infrastructure. The Guide also encourages business and community groups that can contribute information to Mobile Network Operators to help rectify mobile black spots. For a copy of the Guide, go to: www.rdacentralwest.org.au/ initiatives/telecommunications/
