MENZSHED OPEN.
Hi All, The new MENZSHED at the A&P Showgrounds is now open, and I think we could well have our first female member. Yes, women are allowed to join Menzshed, but you are not treated differently from our Men. So be prepared, and yes, now we are at our new larger premises, we are looking for members to join us. Male/Female. $30.00 per year membership. All you need is to pass our sense of humour test, and willing to have a go at just about anything. Come and visit for a free tour, and if you make it about 10 am., $2.00 will get you a tea or coffee and a bikkie. To find us? Just come down Kenilworth Road to gate 2, go straight ahead to the exhibition hall and turn right. We're on the right about 100 metres. Lost? phone/txt Ric (Chairman) 0212140624
Say goodbye to tyre waste
About 40% of the 6.5 million tyres Kiwis use every year are recycled, repurposed, or used as tyre-derived fuel. But the rest end up in landfills, stockpiled or dumped.
The good news is now there’s an easy solution to all that tyre waste. It’s called Tyrewise and is New Zealand’s first national tyre recycling scheme.
Tyrewise ensures that tyres in Aotearoa New Zealand are recycled or repurposed properly, saving millions from going to the landfill.
