As tree pruning gets underway I am getting worn out loppers brought in for sharpening and to be honest many are not worth repairing, they are worn out.

Many of the owners of these tools are women and I advise them to consider small fold away saws from Silky (a Japanese Company) from $55 a small purpose built saw can make there lives much easier, safer and less likely to damage other limbs of the tree being pruned. I'm happy to say the comments are always positive with "I wished I'd known that earlier".
As an authorised stockist of Silky I am happy to show how easy it is to prune tress safely and most importantly, in a way that reduces strains and sprains.

Hello Brewers
I have been brewing beer (and spirits in my early days) for a few years and love it - making and drinking. If you are brewing as well, or would like to start, then you may be interested in a brand new club starting up.

I have been brewing beer (and spirits in my early days) for a few years and love it - making and drinking. If you are brewing as well, or would like to start, then you may be interested in a brand new club starting up.
I have rather imaginatively called it the Mt Pleasant Home Brewing Club - although everyone is welcome. If you'd like to register your interest then logon the Facebook and join up to the group I have started there.
I'm thinking, a meet up every couple of months at the Mt Pleasant community centre, sample everyone's product and general chat about how to do it better - get in a speaker?
Interested? Search Mt Pleasant Home Brew Club on Facebook and put your ideas on there.
