Successful film screening

Submitted by Rimu on 8 August 2008 - 8:45am | updated 08 Aug 2008 | Local news

The idea was that a centralised media group or person for the entire region would be more able to respond to media enquires in the most effective manner. It would mean that every group wouldn't have the burden of training or finding a media-savvy person. » Read more
