Movie night - This Thursday, 12th May 2011 - The Sandhamn Murders

The Sandhamn Murders

It is a beautiful summer morning on the island of Sandhamn in the Swedish archipelago. In the middle of an idyllic beach scenario, a dead man's body floats up to the surface entangled in a fishing net. Crime inspector Thomas Andreasson from the Nacka police is called to the scene. He has a personal closeness to the island, but it is with a dark past, fresh in his memory, he returns to Sandhamn to solve the case... The Sandhamn Murders is based on Viveca Stens crime novel "I de lugnaste vatten".

Floorball / innebandy anyone?

For all of you Swedes in Wellington, you may or may not know there is an Innebandy (Floorball) club in Wellington, who is looking for more players. Please come along. We might even be able to start a Swedish team?!

Floorball, a type of floor hockey, is an indoor team sport which was developed in the 1970s in Sweden. The game is played indoors on a gym floor, making it a year-round sport at the amateur and professional levels. There are professional leagues, such as Finland's Salibandyliiga and Sweden's Svenska Superligan.
The Wellington club levels range from Junior, Social/Mixed to Competetive.

The club provides sticks, all you need is your normal gym gear. Players at all levels are welcome.
