Hang out, have a chat and enjoy a fresh-baked snack and a tea or a cup of freshly brewed coffee from Kokako Organic Coffee. Koha is welcome for refreshments and for our lovely volunteers.
Once or twice a month we also offer home electrical appliance repairs, when our electrician is with us. Watch the ALoT Facebook page or the Repair & Share event discussion for announcements!

Live Q&A: Garden maintenance with Crewcut
This Wednesday, we are having another Neighbourly Q&A session. This time with John Bracewell from Crewcut.
John Bracewell, former Black Caps coach turned Franchisee Development Manager and currently the face of Crewcut’s #Movember campaign, knows a thing or two about keeping the grass looking sharp—whether it’s on a cricket pitch or in your backyard!
As a seasoned Crewcut franchisee, John is excited to answer your lawn and gardening questions. After years of perfecting the greens on the field, he's ready to share tips on how to knock your garden out of the park. Let's just say he’s as passionate about lush lawns as he is about a good game of cricket!
John is happy to answer questions about lawn mowing, tree/hedge trimming, tidying your garden, ride on mowing, you name it! He'll be online on Wednesday, 27th of November to answer them all.
