Amplifiers wanted.

Ric Coleman from MENZSHED, Hastings.

Hi Neighbours. Just wondering if anyone had any old type stereo amplifiers (going/not going) layng around in the shed/cupboard, that we could use for training. Our electrical work-shop guys need to sharpen up their soldering irons and blow off their multimeters and see if they can put some smoke back into the bit's that went: "Bang", and let the smoke out! Drop off, or we can pick up. Email me (Ric): chairman@menzshed.co.nz

For a bit of fun, neighbours.

Have a good think about it, and let us know...

If you could invent one piece of technology to make life easier, what would it be?

Comment below with what you think would be a handy new invention - it may even already exist!

Caution around driveways

The Team from New Zealand Police

Police are asking people to pay extra attention to driveway safety, after a number of incidents recently involving children being harmed.

Driveways can be extremely dangerous, and people need to do everything they can to ensure they keep themselves and others safe, especially where children are present.
Children move around quickly, and often won’t be seen as you are reversing down your driveway.
Always check your driveway before driving in or out, and make sure you know the whereabouts of any children.
Please use your reversing camera if your vehicle has one installed.
Alternatively, ensure all children not in the vehicle with you are accounted for.

If another adult is at the property, make them responsible for ensuring children are well clear of any moving vehicles.
If there are no other adults present, have a ‘safe spot’ for children to stand and wait for the vehicle to stop moving.
This should be somewhere in view of the driver.
Check your blind spots often, and if you can no longer see a child, stop your vehicle and move them somewhere safe before you continue driving.

If your driveway is close to the children’s play area, consider a fence or gates to separate the play area from the driveway.
You should also take the time to speak to your children about the dangers of moving vehicles and remind them that just because they can see the driver, doesn’t mean the driver can always see them.

Taking those extra few seconds to make sure our tamariki are in a safe space when you drive in and out of your driveway can help prevent so much heartache and trauma.
Remember they don’t understand the potential consequences.
