Rangiora Menz Shed

Rae from Rangiora

We are often asked what a Men’s Shed (hereafter simply referred to as a “shed”) is, and the answer can be long! But to put it in a rather large nutshell, a shed brings men together in one community space to share their skills, have a laugh, and work on practical tasks individually (personal … View moreWe are often asked what a Men’s Shed (hereafter simply referred to as a “shed”) is, and the answer can be long! But to put it in a rather large nutshell, a shed brings men together in one community space to share their skills, have a laugh, and work on practical tasks individually (personal projects) or as a group (for the shed or community).

The sort of projects we tackle are community projects or for the individual, examples of which include building items for pre-school centres, repairing toy library stock, building planter boxes, chicken coups, and our very popular mud kitchens and the list goes on.
One of our new creations is Coffins made from nz pine, expertly finished and unpainted and unstained. Decorate them as you see fit!

We are happy to take on new projects at the shed, all we ask in return is a donation for our time and payment for materials.

I would like to ask you all to pop to our new Face Book Page. See for yourselves what we do. Please Like and Follow our page to keep updated on what we are up to in our lovely community.

Don't be shy

Please contact Steve Mackay our Chairman for any enquires, if you would like to join our Shed your more than welcome to come along and have a look, we would love to have you! Tues, Wed, Thurs 9am - 12pm we are located at the Rangiora A&P Show Grounds. Call Steve and let him know your coming along.

“Charismatic and contemporary’’ is how the Waimakariri District Council hopes Rangiora will be viewed into the next decade and beyond.

The Rangiora Town Centre Strategy – Blueprint to 2030+ – seeks to support the town's projected rapid growth from its current population of 18,000 to 30,000 by 2048.

Construction on the $28 million facility began at the end of last year, and was initially planned to be completed by the end of May 2021.

Work stopped for several weeks due to the Covid-19 lockdown, pushing the project’s completion date out, although some areas are still ahead of schedule, including the steelwork construction.

Perhaps they've learned more about hand washing and germs, or maybe they want to talk about having mum or dad home more often, or learning from home. Kids can write a sentence or two to be included in print by emailing kelly.dennett@stuff.co.nz, by Friday, July 10, at 5pm. Their first names and ages may be used in print.
