Youth Week

SDYC On the Bus to Bowlarama

Jump On the Bus to Bowlarama with Stratford District Youth Council for a fun-filled evening of laser tag, bowling, and pizza!

Work up an appetite with laser tag and then refuel before testing your bowling skills. Going with old friends? Want to meet some new ones? Either way, be ready to have an epic time. Don't miss out - book early.

The details:

• When: 4.30pm – 9.30pm, Tuesday 20 May
• Where: The bus will leave from the bus stop outside the Stratford War Memorial Centre at 4.30pm and from there we’re off to Bowlarama in New Plymouth. Get picked up from the War Memorial Centre bus stop at 9.30pm
• Age range: 12 to 18 years old
• Cost: $5 per person, pizza and drinks included
• Register: Get in quick, numbers are limited. Book your seat at Eventbrite.co.nz

Important info:

• We require everyone under the age of 18 to have parental consent. After you book on Eventbrite, if you're under 18, we'll email you a permission form to be completed by a caregiver. You can also grab a form at the Stratford Library and Visitor Information Centre.
• Make sure you wear clothes you'll be comfy playing laser tag in (and maybe getting pizza on). You'll need closed shoes for laser tag and socks for bowling.
• If you’ve got dietary restrictions, let us know when you book.

A big thanks to the Taranaki Electricity Trust for supporting this Youth Week event!

SDYC Pop-up Cinema

We’re rolling out the red carpet for rangatahi aged 12 to 18, with Stratford’s free Pop-up Cinema, brought to you by the Stratford District Youth Council.

Our pop-up movie theatre will be in the Function Facility at the Stratford War Memorial Centre.

We’ll supply the cinema vibes, massive screen, professional sound system, and free pizza and drinks. You just bring something comfy to sit on, like a bean bag, cushion, or beach chair (or not, up to you).

Then, settle in for our cinematic masterpieces:

• Bee Movie from 5.30pm – fun, nostalgic, and animated. *chef’s kiss*
• Clueless from 7.30pm – Is there a better 90s cult classic? “Ugh, as if!”

Coming to the Pop-up Cinema is free, but make sure you register at Eventbrite.co.nz so we can order enough pizza.

The details

• When: 5.30pm – 9.15pm, Sunday 25 May
• Where: Function Facility, Stratford War Memorial Centre
• Age range: 12 to 18 years old
• Cost: Free!
• Register by 4pm Fri 23 May at Eventbrite.co.nz for pizza-ordering purposes

Important info:

• Can you just come for one movie and pizza? Yes, but you’ll need to be signed in and out of the event, and whether you’re leaving early (like, after the Bee Movie) or at the end, we’ll need to know you’ve got a safe way to get home.
• If you’ve got dietary restrictions, let us know when you book.
