Proposed Hornby Menzshed
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: 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?

Live Q&A: Garden maintenance with Crewcut
This Wednesday, we're having another Neighbourly Q&A session. This time with John Bracewell from Crewcut.
John Bracewell, former Black Caps coach turned Franchisee Development Manager and currently the face of Crewcut’s #Movember campaign, knows a thing or two about keeping the grass looking sharp—whether it’s on a cricket pitch or in your backyard!
As a seasoned Crewcut franchisee, John is excited to answer your lawn and gardening questions. After years of perfecting the greens on the field, he's ready to share tips on how to knock your garden out of the park. Let's just say he’s as passionate about lush lawns as he is about a good game of cricket!
John is happy to answer questions about lawn mowing, tree/hedge trimming, tidying your garden, ride on mowing, you name it! He'll be online on Wednesday, 27th of November to answer them all.
