THE KID STAKES SILENT MOVIE MADE IN 1927 Wagstaffe Hall, 7 April 2pm The Kid Stakes (1927) is one of the real gems of Australian silent-era cinema. Growing out of Syd Nicholls’ popular Fatty Finn weekly newspaper comic strip, the easygoing characters and likeable story had wide appeal to all ages, and with a charm that continues to entertain to this day. It appears to be the first children’s feature film produced in Australia. |

ART SHOW A GREAT SUCCESS
Over the June long weekend in the Wagstaffe Hall, the Bouddi Society hosted an art show for artists living on the Bouddi Peninsular. It has been hailed by everyone as a great success.
There were 26 exhibiting artists that included both painters and crafts people. Ceramics, wood turning and leather were represented.
The total sales for the show exceeded $10,000, and there was a record level in door donations and in the purchase of raffle tickets. Overall the Bouddi Society made $3,500 from the show.
The art show was opened by John Bell who gave a very interesting and informative talk on the history of art which began in Italy in the Renaissance period starting in the 13th century.
The big winner for the weekend was Meg Lewer from Wagstaffe who sold one of her paintings for $1,600 and also won the 'Bells at Killcare' raffle prize.
The Bouddi Society would like to thank the exhibiting artists and the local community who helped to make this show so successful.
