Menzshed. Under new management.

Ric Coleman from MENZSHED, Hastings.

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.

Poll: If we want to reduce speeding, what do you think actually changes driver behaviour? πŸ›»πŸš¨πŸš“

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In the Post's article on speeding penalties, the question is asked whether speeding fines are truly about road safety, or are they just a way to boost revenue for the Crown?

What do you think? Should speeding motorists receive speeding fines or demerit points?

Lawn mowing

Michael from Blade

Hi Everyone

I have availability on my lawn mowing run at the moment, for regular cutting, in the Napier area. My customers include residential and commercial properties and they are happy with the service I provide. Autumn is also a great time to get your lawn sorted, if you need some help. I have also had customers in the past, that were selling their property and needed it tidied and maintained, while on the market.

So if you are interested or need a quote, or know someone that needs help with their lawns? Please contact me.
You can reach me at 027 3731310 or Bradley.mw@gmail.com

Have a great day!
Michael from Blade Lawns.
