MENZSHED on the move.
Hi to our Hastings community. The team of retired old 'fa^ts' at MENZSHED, Hastings, are on the move to new premises, from Sylvan Road, to a much larger building at the A&P Showgrounds. During the move, our Sylvan road workshops will be open for any projects and problems that you might need fixing. We are still taking new members (30.00) per year, and should be in full swing over the next month of so. You can contact me, Ric Coleman, Chairman, on 021 2140624.or inquire at: chairman@menzshedhastings.co.nz
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.

Cleaning a heat pump
Hi everyone. Can anyone recommend a reliable and reasonable company to clean our heat pump. We used it on cold for a couple of days and when turning it back to warm it has a smell. We get it serviced yearly but the firm we use is expensive.
