Equip Witchcliffe Launch
Description
Do you live in postcode 6286 (Witchcliffe, Boranup, Forest Grove, Redgate)?
Join us for wine, supper and a thought provoking evening about community, connection and our capacity to face future challenges like natural disasters. Fire, flood, drought and unexpected events have an ever increased chance of happening, and when they do, we’re stronger together.
Celebrating the launch of Equip Witchcliffe, the night will include a short film, panel of special guests and community catchup. Whether you’re local to the core, have just moved here, own or rent, live on property, a bush block, in-town or one of the newer sub-divisions, we welcome you.
The guest panel will include Bridget Ikin (filmmaker), Zac Webb (Cultural Custodian), Rob Gherardi (Mr Barval), Mike Rumble (Mindful Margaret River), and Associate Professor Warren Bartik (Equip Chief Investigator, University of New England).
When: 6.30-8.30pm, Monday 25th August (doors open 6pm)
Where: Margaret River HEART - Nala Bardip Mia
Help spread the word: Invite local friends and neighbours to come along. We chose this larger venue over Druids so we could include as many people as possible.
Tickets: Free, ticket essential
