Retail equipment required
Edit - the store is open, the workshop being set up, but we still need a cash drawer, if anyone has one spare. We also need old, working sewing machines and overlockers, for our sewing workroom.
I’m try to reuse as much as possible, rather than get new, as that is the basis of my community business. I’m also trying to keep my setup costs as low as possible.
So if you have upgraded your equipment, or closed your retail business and have equipment to part with, please email me at store@re-new.nz
Also, if anyone needs workshop space, please contact me. I know students and small businesses have been hit hard, losing their workshops in the cyclone, so I am happy to provide space.

Footpaths
Please don’t park across footpaths. It’s not only illegal, it leads to dangerous behaviour.
We have approximately 19 schools, kura and early child centres, plus 5 rest homes, and 2 disability residential centres, in Havelock North alone.
Parking over the footpaths restricts people’s safe movements, by forcing people who are trying to use the footpaths to go onto roads to get where they need to go.
It may inconvenience you, momentarily, to have to park further away and walk, but you endanger others by blocking the footpath. Please don’t.
Imagine you, or your loved one trying to walk with a stroller, or travel in a mobility scooter or wheelchair, trying to get past your car, blocking the footpath. What risk will they have to take, to get by?
The same thing applies to mobility parks. They aren’t there for you to just “pop in and out real quick”.
Your “real quick” is a long time for someone with limited mobility, or health issues.
Show some empathy.
Looking for a home
Knowledge Bank have a bound copy (very large) of April - June 1955 Dominion newspapers. We don't need it but it's too good to just chuck out - would anybody want it or know somebody that would like it
