Excerpt from the Settlers Film Club Newsletter: Wow!! and thank you. From just the one screening of ‘Beyond the Edge’ we raise the amazing amount of $1000 for a Nepal Earthquake Relief Fund!! (see details of chairty below) Despite it being the start of the long weekend with many people saying they were going to be away and not able to get to the screening we still managed to just about fill the Settlers Hall. Over 100 people, young and old (plus a few in the middle!!) The mulled wine, warm hall and a feeling of coming together created a very special atmosphere.
