2021 BYSA Outdoor Cinema Fundraiser

16/4/2021

Comments

 
Picture
From Friday 16th to Sunday 18th April, Blacktown Workers Club will transform into a world of fun with the ultimate outdoor cinema experience playing a selection of blockbusters.

Not just about what's on the screen, the outdoor cinema will also feature tasty food from local icons BlackBear BBQ, fun live music, kids’ entertainment and a graffiti wall art competition with all proceeds from ticket sales going to Blacktown Youth Services Association.

The massive 3-day event is part of NSW Youth Week and will provide vital funding for Blacktown Youth Services Association with all money raised going directly to the charity. Established in 1986 for youths needing guidance and assistance to find their purpose, BYSA runs a multitude of programs focused on skills development, capacity building and social inclusion of young people in the local area.

First up on Friday is family night with ‘Scoob!,’ the 2020 re-make of old-school favourite, Scooby Doo. With plenty of positive messages about loyalty and friendship, this recent release is not just for the kids as it also features some tongue in cheek jokes especially for grown-ups.

Saturday is dedicated to ‘Youth Week’ where live graffiti art from talented youth artists in the community will kick off from 4.30pm. Come the evening, sit back for ‘Wonder Woman 1984’ – last year’s follow up to the iconic 1970s Hollywood blockbuster about beloved female superhero played by the stunning Israeli actress, Gal Gadot.
Finally, enjoy a giggle to finish the weekend with 2011 American romantic comedy, ‘Crazy Stupid Love,’ starring a killer cast of Steve Carell, Ryan Gosling, Julianne Moore, Emma Stone, Marisa Tomei, and Kevin Bacon.

Cinemagoers will also be able to enjoy a bite from community legends and kings of the low-and-slow cooked meats, BlackBear BBQ, who will be serving up delicious, hearty feed from their food truck throughout the entire weekend.

After a difficult 2020 leaving them on the brink of bankruptcy, Blacktown Youth Services Association is excited to be in partnership with Blacktown Workers Club Group (BWCG) for its debut Outdoor Cinema Fundraiser to continue empowering local young people to create transformative change in the lives and communities.

BWCG President, Kay Kelly, explains “The work BYSA do is critical to our community and so we’re proud to be able to offer our support and host this fantastic event to raise the crucial funds BYSA need to keep their doors open.”

To book tickets, please visit: www.workersclub.com.au, Workers Blacktown, 55 Campbell Street, Blacktown or via phone on 02 9830 6000. Tickets strictly limited.

Statement from SWR Triple 9 FM on Facebook's ban

18/2/2021

Comments

 
You may have heard about today's events with Facebook banning news media content on its platform overnight. Unfortunately, the SWR Triple 9 FM page has been impacted by this and is no longer accessible. Our admins can only access the page on desktop.

We have lodged a dispute to Facebook, and the Community Broadcasting Association of Australia is working with its stations to reassure us and have released a statement on this. We are a local broadcaster. We do not make any profit, and we serve our community. THAT is our ONLY focus.

Our Instagram and Twitter pages are still active and working, but this may change at any given time. Be sure to stay up to date through our website, as we will continue to remain as your voice in Sydney's West.

We do hope that this will end sooner rather than later, but one can only hope at this point.

World Leprosy Sunday 2021

31/1/2021

 
Picture
Leprosy is a neglected tropical disease caused by bacteria.  It rarely affects people in modern Australia, but it’s deeply interwoven with our world’s history. It has been uncovered in skeletons over 4000 years old, and recorded in ancient texts that date back to 600 BCE. However, Leprosy still exits.

​Did you know that every 2 minutes, a person is diagnosed with leprosy? For people affected by leprosy, the battle isn't only against the disease, it is also against the despair of being rejected by their community.

Help to stop the pain of rejection for people affected by leprosy this World Leprosy Day (or hold your own). Your support will help with early diagnosis and treatment of leprosy and help stop it from leading to nerve damage, ulcers and permanent disability. And provide community education to end the stigma.

​
Head over to https://www.leprosymission.org.au/get-involved/world-leprosy-sunday-2021/ for more information.

Live Radio Gig 2020 CANCELLED

24/10/2020

 
Picture
It brings us great sadness to announce that like all things in 2020, SWR Triple 9 FM have had to cancel the 2020 Live Radio Gig, typically held atThe Ettamogah Hotel in Kellyville Ridge.

The news is absolutely devastating to so many people involved in the running & production of Live Radio Gig, as well as the local bands involved. 2020 will be the first time in Live Radio Gig history that the event hasn't run consecutively.

The decision wasn't made easily, but it was one that had to be made.

We're now planning to bring you an even bigger Live Radio Gig next year, in 2021. We'd also like to thank the 2020 Live Radio Gig & SWR Triple 9 major sponsor, The Ettamogah Hotel for their ongoing support.

Reminisce the 2019 Live Radio Gig
