MenzshedHawera Meeting
To all members and interested persons.
There will be a meeting at the new MenzshedHawera shed at the A&P showgrounds Expo building on
Wednesday the 26th of February 2020 at 5.00pm
If you would like to join this organisation, the sub is $50 per calendar year. Due now.
The aim of a Menzshed is to foster a place where men and women of all ages can socialise, impart their gained knowledge and maybe learn a thing or two along the way.
We will be looking to provide the occasional hot roast meal to members, from the kitchen on the premises, as time permits.
At this early stage we are looking to raise money through subs to buy timber for workbenches and rent.
If you are keen to partake in this worthy cause, please subscribe at the meeting.
We already have some machinery, kindly donated by various people and organisations.
Come and have a look.
Thank You
Geoff Coubrough (Chairperson)

⚠️ DOGS DIE IN HOT CARS. If you love them, don't leave them. ⚠️
It's a message we share time and time again, and this year, we're calling on you to help us spread that message further.
Did you know that calls to SPCA about dogs left inside hot cars made up a whopping 11% of all welfare calls last summer? This is a completely preventable issue, and one which is causing hundreds of dogs (often loved pets) to suffer.
Here are some quick facts to share with the dog owners in your life:
👉 The temperature inside a car can heat to over 50°C in less than 15 minutes.
👉 Parking in the shade and cracking windows does little to help on a warm day. Dogs rely on panting to keep cool, which they can't do in a hot car.
👉 This puts dogs at a high risk of heatstroke - a serious condition for dogs, with a mortality rate between 39%-50%.
👉 It is an offence under the Animal Welfare Act to leave a dog in a hot vehicle if they are showing signs of heat stress. You can be fined, and prosecuted.
SPCA has created downloadable resources to help you spread the message even further. Posters, a flyer, and a social media tile can be downloaded from our website here: www.spca.nz...
We encourage you to use these - and ask your local businesses to display the posters if they can. Flyers can be kept in your car and handed out as needed.
This is a community problem, and one we cannot solve alone. Help us to prevent more tragedies this summer by sharing this post.
On behalf of the animals - thank you ❤️
