We are often asked what a Men’s Shed (hereafter simply referred to as a “shed”) is, and the answer can be long!

But to put it in a rather large nutshell, a shed brings men together in one community space to share their skills, have a laugh, and work on practical tasks individually (personal projects) or as a group (for the shed or community).
The sort of projects we tackle are community projects or for the individual, examples of which include building items for pre-school centres, repairing toy library stock, building planter boxes, chicken coups, and our very popular mud kitchens and the list goes on.
One of our new creations is Coffins made from nz pine, expertly finished and unpainted and unstained. Decorate them as you see fit!
We are happy to take on new projects at the shed, all we ask in return is a donation for our time and payment for materials.
I would like to ask you all to pop to our new Face Book Page. See for yourselves what we do. Please Like and Follow our page to keep updated on what we are up to in our lovely community.

About 200 people participated in a quiz night to raise funds for Amberley School on July 3.
PTA member Andrew Botting said it was a "fantastic evening".
About $8000 was raised by the sell-out crowd. The funds would be used on digital technology for the school.
Great effort everyone!

The Sunday Star-Times wants to hear from children about how they've been impacted by Covid-19 and lockdown. Perhaps they've learned more about hand washing and germs, or maybe they want to talk about having mum or dad home more often, or learning from home. Kids can write a sentence or two to be included in print by emailing kelly.dennett@stuff.co.nz, by Friday, July 10, at 5pm. Their first names and ages may be used in print. Parents, if you're happy for your children to be photographed please let us know.
I have miss placed the foot and plug to one of my sewing machines, would anyone have one they no longer need.
Happy to pay for it.
