The movie will start at 6.30pm and we will have a short interval part-way through. At the conclusion of the film (approx. 8.40pm) there will be a firework display from little Warrina Oval.

This year we’re showing The Bad Guys https://www.imdb.com/title/tt8115900/ which Rotten Tomatoes describes as ‘Fast-paced, funny, and full of colorful visual appeal, The Bad Guys is good news for audiences seeking options the whole family can enjoy.‘ The Bad Guys has a 93% viewer rating and 88% tomatometer rating https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/the_bad_guys_2022.

Organise your friends, bring blankets and enjoy the night!

It’s nearly that time of the year again and Apex will be selling Christmas Trees from 3pm at Warrina Oval, Berowra on the 9th December. If we have any left we’ll continue to sell them on the 10th as well.

We’re also taking donations for our Salvation Army Christmas Toy Drive.

Donations can be left with our members, or if you don’t have a toy and want to make a cash donation towards a Christmas hamper, we can help you with that too.

Look forward to seeing you all from 3pm!

Lastly a huge thank-you to our sponsors, without whom this event would not be possible:

Woodchop is back and bigger than ever on Sunday August 28th from 10am-4pm. A Berowra institution, the event had been run continuously since 1994 until 2020 when COVID began to get in our way….

Over the years it has become a major event on both the NSW Axemen’s Association and the Berowra community calendar.

Whats new?
More stalls, more live entertainment, more food trucks, more amusements and with a relocation to Warrina Street Oval, far more space for a family day out.

Whats staying the same?
A free community event run by the community for the community.

Woodchop is made possible by support from Berowra Village Tavern, Hornsby Shire Council and McGrath Real Estate.

The incredible support and in all previous years hosting of this event by the Berowra Village Tavern  allows the event to continue and we and the Berowra Community are incredibly grateful!

The team at McGrath Real Estate Berowra have been long time supporters of Woodchop consistently donating their time and for raffle prizes over the years. This year we are grateful for their sponsorship of the event, allowing us to continue to provide this free event for the community.

There will be plenty for the whole family to enjoy including world class competitive Woodchopping, live music, carnival rides for all ages, market and food stalls. All money raised goes back into the community to support the Rural Fire Service, Berowra Scouts and Apex projects.

Please register your interest via our Facebook event. Discount unlimited ride bands are also on sale now.

We also have sponsorship opportunities and space for stalls please reach out to info@berowraapex.org.au for information on either.  See you all on August 28th 2022 at Warrina Street Oval, Berowra and finally,

Check out the NSW Axemen’s Association’s Instagram to get yourself in the mood for some Axe Chopping fun.

It’s back! After a two year hiatus the Berowra Apex Movie Under the Stars and fireworks display is back bigger and better than ever!

There will be food trucks and the famous Apex sausage sizzle, so get there early for dinner before the show.

Berowra APEX is teaming up with The Salvation Army Hornsby again to help support those in our community that need a little help this Christmas.

Last year the generosity of this amazing community saw the toy drive contribute 20% of the gifts that the Salvation Army Hornsby were able to distribute to families in need. APEX added to this by putting together 35 Food hampers and over 100 movie voucher packs for the Odeon Cinema in Hornsby.

Over the next 7 weeks, we’re going to have several donation stations set up for any new, unwrapped toys that you can spare. They can be for any age group, but they must be new for the Salvo’s COVID requirements.

On top of our locations, we’ll be accepting donations at our Christmas Tree Sales locations, and our final date to drop them off so that the Salvation Army can get them under trees is the 10th of December.

We greatly appreciate any support and look forward to seeing everyone through the lead up to Christmas as we keep emerging from the current restrictions.

We’re back! Apex will be selling Christmas trees again this year at Crossroads Reserve, Berowra Heights (behind Bambinos, near the dog park). Trees will be on sale from 3pm till late on Friday 3rd December and from 8am until sold out on Saturday 4th December. All proceeds go towards supporting the work Apex does in the community.

Stocks are limited and likely to sell fast this year, so get in early for the best selection! Contactless payments available.

We will also be accepting donations of new, unwrapped toys for the Salvation Army to distribute to families in need this Christmas. We greatly appreciate your support.

Well 2020 has been a tough year for many, so we’re hoping to see out the year with some fun and Christmas cheer.

We have our usual scheduled Santa sleigh street runs on the following dates:

• Friday 4th December
• Friday 11th December
• Wednesday 16th December

We won’t be able to hold our usual BBQ after these sleigh runs, but watch out for additional, unscheduled surprise runs throughout December! For more information and to track Santa live, keep your eye on the Apex Santa Tracker.

We’ll also be selling Christmas trees as usual at Berowra Crossroads Reserve (near the dog park) and Pennant Hills Observatory Park on the following dates:

• Friday 4th December – 3pm till late
• Saturday 5th December 8am until sold out

All proceeds from tree sales are returned to the community through Apex activities.

We hope you have a merry Christmas and happy new year!

Christmas is coming!

In addition to our usual annual Christmas events and activities, this year the APEX Club of Berowra are collecting toys on behalf of the Salvation Army (Hornsby), to help out local families doing it tough.

Donation locations have been set up at:

• McGraths Real Estate in Berowra and Hornsby;
• Bendigo Bank in Berowra; and
• Glendenning Szoboszlay Architects in Mt Colah.

Donations of any new, un-opened, unwrapped toys will be gratefully accepted at any of these locations as well as our Christmas Tree Sales events in Berowra and Pennant Hills on Friday 4th and Saturday 5th of December.

To ensure they can reach the families in time for Christmas Day, donations will be accepted up until the 8th of December.

A little will go a long way for a lot of families, so all donations are greatly appreciated. We’re also taking cash donations that we will be using for Christmas hampers and gift cards as well.

Please get in touch via our contact page or on Facebook if you would like to know more about the toy drive, our club, or the other events we run.
