2020
Cinema in the Park Australia Day Eve 2022
The NHW BBQ Cinema in the Park Kicked off Australia Day celebrations by residents being able to sit outside in the fresh summer air watching the classic Australian Movie, Paper Planes.
Residents brought their picnic rug, bean bag or low chair on Australia Day eve to watch Paper Planes with the family and friends to celebrate Australia Day in the City of Ryde. The very successful BBQ at the event was run by Neighbourhood Watch Ryde with a dozen NHW volunteers serving up the "snags" and drinks.
Registration was required - via the City of Ryde website.

It's also an opportunity for local residents to assist to reduce local crime by volunteering to help "Create Safer Communities" across the Ryde District by signing on as a volunteer walker to deliver one of the seven Region bi-monthly newsletters.
