Bangkok to Istanbul
As many people know, Rick Lindsay has just returned from driving his 1929 Pontiac from Bangkok to Istanbul. It took months, crossed many countries and involved many adventures.
In doing so he has raised over $100,000 for Parkinsons research.
Join Rick on Monday December 14 from 7pm at the Mansfield Hotel where for a donation of $20 to Parkinsons, Rick will regale you with stories of his epic journey.
Murray and Neil from Radio Mansfield's MaN Show will host the evening.
It's sure to be a fun night and will raise funds for a worthy cause.

Tinderella
Tinderella and the eight unique uses of Tinder is a one-human show created and performed by Albury–Wodonga-based Alyce Fisher. It explores her real-life tales, investigates contemporary dating app culture and aims to empower everyone to take control of their own dating destiny. Tinderella is a comedy cabaret strongly influenced by Disney characters, featuring a bespoke mockumentary film, an informative TED Talk (or as we call it, TIT Talk), audience interaction and participation, a magic wand and two life-size condom costumes. Tinderella is a rollicking good time, super funny and has a whole lot of heart.
Suited for audiences 18+ and with a running time of 50 minutes, Tinderella is for comedy and cabaret lovers, anyone who has experienced the highs and the lows of dating apps and those who are curious as to how it all works.
