Proposed Hornby Menzshed

Marco from Hornby

Just a reminder we have a meeting this Thursday regarding the possibility of setting up a Men's Shed in Hornby. Please SHARE if you can as we really want to get the word out there.

Turning up is not a commitment and we really want anyone slightly interested to come along and find out what is a Menzshed and how do they work. We have the President of NZ Menzshed coming to the meeting who will be able to answer our questions.

The information evening (rather than a meeting) is this Thursday 25th - 7pm start in the Hornby Community Centre (they co-share the Hornby Library building) in Goulding Avenue behind Caltex/Dominoes Pizza etc.

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”

We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?

Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
