Menzshed. Under new management.

Hi All. I've got the new Menzshed open at the Hastings A&P Showgrounds, thank-you to our Mayor, Sandra Hazelhurst, on 1st September, the ribbon was cut. My health has been failing for a while, and I have resigned as Chairman, and handed over to my Vice Chairman, Robbie. 06 875 093. Sorry, my sense of humour might have got the best of me at times on these posts. I'm sure, Robbie will look after Menzshed, as I have tried to do, since it's beginning in 2015. To all the customers and friends I've made in our growing Menzshed, Hastings: You're the best. Cheers. Ric Coleman. Look after Menzshed, and they will look after you. I te rangimarie. Kia koa.
