Hataitai MenzShed
Welcome to the winter issue and yes, we are building steam.
It’s been great to welcome new members and friends to the July Market Day opening where we
assembled over twenty rat boxes for Predator Free Mt Victoria and Predator Free Wellington.
We have since built another 20 boxes with half going back to PF Wgtn to distribute.
A big Thanks to Floyd (our coordinator) for getting the ball rolling and helping to sort where stuff
should go and especially to Ross for getting our machinery in good working order and setting rules
for its use. An emergency first aid sign has also been made plus we look forward to a defibrillator
being set up at The Hataitai Centre kindly sponsored by Ryman.
At this stage our operating hours are Wednesday’s 10am to 1pm and Market Day (1st Saturday of
each month) but we are open to more options. Come along to our next Rat Box Building 6
th August.
We are currently working on a number of small projects being:
Rat box assembly – Grant, Nigel, Harper, Paul, Ross.

We welcome new projects and any ideas to improve the environment and safety here at the shed.
On the side, we are also looking for communications and electrical skills.
Lastly, we welcome you to just turn up, chew the fat and to hear your story – spread the word.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?

Sleeping Beauty - The Pantomime
A family comedy where a stitch in time saves nine thousand years.
Aurora is the people’s princess of Wellingtonia – with a curse.
On her first birthday an evil spell is cast: One day she will prick her finger on a spinning wheel, sending her into an unbreakable deep sleep. With the help of fairy god-daddies that watch over her and a surprise visit from two interdimensional travellers, Aurora must venture through the time-space continuum to stay conscious and reclaim her throne from evil forces. An original pantomime that takes a beloved fairytale and adds equal amounts of song, dance, and sci-fi to bubble up a perfect potion the whole whānau will love. A high-energy romp of comedy and capers – Sleeping Beauty is anything but a snoozefest. Celebrating 20 years of Circa Theatre pantomimes.

“fabulous, funny, and flirty” – Regional News
