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)
Poll: Should we be giving the green light to new mining projects? 💰🌲
The Environmental Protection Authority announced this week that a proposed mine in Central Otago (near Cromwell) is about to enter its fast-track assessment process. A final decision could come within six months, and if it’s approved, construction might start as early as mid-2026.
We want to know: Should mining projects like this move ahead?
Keen to dig deeper? Mike White has the scoop.

‘Tis the season to not get scammed ...
As Christmas gift shopping moves increasingly online, scammers are ramping up their activity across the country.
Dunedin’s Investigation Support Unit is seeing more and more people fall victim to scams and other fraudulent activity, particularly on Facebook Marketplace.
There are a few ways to avoid the scams and keep yourself safe doing online trades this holiday season, says Southern District Service Delivery Manager Senior Sergeant Dalton.
🔒 “A good first step when looking to purchase something on Marketplace is to check when the seller’s Facebook profile was created. If it’s very recent, there is a higher risk that they have just created this account for a one-off fake item.”
🔒 Another important step is to make sure the seller’s profile name and bank account name match up. “We’re seeing a lot of scammers claiming their bank account name is different because it belongs to their partner or family member - that’s a huge red flag."
🔒 “When you’re selling, never trust a screenshot anyone sends you showing that payment has been made. Check your own bank account to make sure a payment has gone through."
🔒 “Quite frankly, it’s best for all parties to agree to pay, or be paid, for items in cash and in-person. Ideally in a public place with CCTV coverage."
🔒 "If you’re buying a car, check Carjam.co.nz to see if it’s stolen or if there’s money owed on it.”
A reminder: Suspicious activity can be reported on 105
