    yeah, I checked that before posting BB - I was trying in a subtle way to draw more attention the fact that Movies by Burswood is a not for profit organisation raising money for worthy charities

    Must be lovin' the lack of DLS this year, Ecky!

    ..... so anyway, Movies By Burswood is a not-for-profit organisation which donates 100% (ie all of it - every last cent) of monies raised to children's charities.

    Details of the charities we support this season are on the website.

    ...and yes - I am one of them that voted against daylight saving. The main reason for not supporting it was my involvement in MbB. There. I said it.

    2010-11 Season

    Hi again all

    The 2010-11 season of Movies By Burswood is nigh.

    You know how marvellous it is, what with 100% of profits going to children's charities and all that, so have a look at the website to make your plans for this season. (this link is broken at the time of typing but will be fixed directly...)

    For those of you north of the river who think Burswood is too far to travel, we have Movies at Stirling, in the Stirling Gardens, from 16 Dec 2010 to 12 March 2011 as a splendid alternative. Check that website out if so inclined.

    Go on, you know you want to come to the movies...

    So, thanks to all of the TWF family who went along. And everyone else as well too also.

    Last season we raised a tad over $729,300 for the children's charities we support, bringing the total over the 11 year history to $3,759,649.87.

    Season 12 kicks off in December with three venues this time around! Obviously I'll post more details closer to the season launch.

    We're baaaaaaaaaack!

    Season 12 of Bankwest Movies By Burswood kicks off at the Burswood Parklands venue Thursday 6th December.

    The Bassendean venue (BIC Reserve, cnr Wilson St/Guildford Rd) starts Thursday 13th December.

    The New Venue, Henderson Court, Curtin Uni, opens Friday 7th December.

    Details of each venue, pricing, which charities 100% of our profits will be supporting and stuff like that, are at www.moviesbyburswood.com.

    To date we've raised $3.75 million for the children's charities we've supported and looking forward to a fair few more season ahead.

    So, all of you who have been will already be planning their visits but will have the new venue to consider

    Those who haven't been can now start your planning, hey?

    Oh, and we have a brief spot on Telethon about 12:15 - 12:30 pm Sunday arv

    Back Again!

    Hi folks

    Season 13 got underway last night at the Burswood venue, with the Bassendean and Curtin venues opening shortly. New venue at Mandurah later in the season as well.

    As always, www.moviesbyburswood.com will give you all the info you could possibly want.

    Come one, come all and support the only outdoor movies that donates 100% of its profits to children's charities. I'm pretty sure we're at almost $5mil in donations to said charities to date.

    Back again - rebranded

    Wow.

    15th season is up & running.

    Original Burswood venue season opened this week. Bassendean, Murdoch and Mandurah coming soon to a place near you, especially if you live near Bassendean, Murdoch or Mandurah.

    To date we've raised a bit over $6MILLION for children's charites; $808-odd thousand last season (meaning I got to meet Susannah Carr and hand her a cheque at Telethon a wee wile ago)

    Head over to the website and make your plans for the season ahead folks.
