Snippets…

December 23, 2022 By Roxane Manley

Club Forbes is preparing to screen the long awaited and highly anticipated Avatar 2.

Club Forbes Cinema Presents: Puss in Boots, The Last Wish, Avatar, The way of Water, are playing from next week. Check out our website for program guides. Cub Forbes Manager Adam McGregor recommends seeing Avatar in 3D and said “we have new equipment installed. Testing has been better than expected. Our equipment will produce an experience like no other in the Central West. Our big screen in a smaller cinema, produces brighter images, combined with our active 3D glasses will produce an experience not available in the larger cinemas. Our sound system is also designed for a much larger cinema, providing perfect sound quality and experience. It seems our cinema has been purpose built for a 3D experience like no other.

Where to fuel up when traveling: Drivers are being urged to log into FuelCheck before hitting the road this Christmas after the nation-leading app identified the cheapest petrol on routes in and out of Sydney and in popular holiday spots across the state. If motorists notice the price at the pump in NSW does not match what is shown on the FuleCheck app, they can make a complaint directly to NSW Fair Trading. 

Healthy Heart Hacks: Australians can satisfy their tickers AND their tastebuds this holiday season by utilising the Heart Foundation’s top Holiday Heart Hacks.
