Across the road from Selwyn Park, 15 Onslow Street, Dargaville, is their new home which is rich in character. It was the Kauri Bakery set up by the Smith family in 1933 and at one point it supplied bread for the whole of Northland. The owner, Emil, bought the 80 year building in 2004 and has kept some bakery features in tact. He has installed a spiral staircase but has left an original step and the dough table will now be used for circus tricks. “It’s about new beginnings,” says community circus teacher, Jo Carvalho, adding that they have outgrown the space in Parenga Street. He says the new building will have better storage capacity and being next to the swimming pool, skatepark and Selwyn Park is an advantage giving them greater visibility. “Everyone is welcome to drop in and see what we’re all about, and it’s not just about clowns and juggling, we do much more than that.” The last class at Parenga Street was the Art of Pole taught by Amy Richardson-Impey and classes will begin at Onslow Street on July 31. ¢

Man of Steel, Despicable Me 2 and White Lies made up the weekend programme and manager, Vernon Woods, said a steady number of people attended. A screening of Despicable Me 2 sold out and White Lies was well received on both Saturday and Sunday nights. “We are very happy with how it’s going — we’ve had no glitches and there are lots of smiling faces around.” The theatre has been four years in the making and project manager, Grant Waldron, and his wife and volunteer, Cherry Waldron, praises the firms and contractors for their involvement in the construction. “All responded with professionalism and enthusiasm aware of the timeline to complete the cinema.”
Movies to suit the school holidays, The Lone Ranger, Epic, and Monsters University are new to next week’s programme. See page 2 for movie listings.
