From the Blokes in the Shed
2022 AGM, Sunday 29th May.
From the B lokes in the Shed…
Well, two months into the year of Omicron already, but do not despair Ashley informs us that it should peak by the end of March, but the good news is Xmas is less than 10 months away! So far due to the Wupox we have witnessed many cancelled events both nationally and locally, the latest local event to succumb is Pats annual Hospice vehicle display which is disappointing to see worthy fundraising events like this unable to proceed. The parts sheds throughout all this disruption have continued to produce income albeit a little below normal levels of commerce. Welcome donations are still incoming and sales to customers from outside of our province indicate there is still a willingness for people to travel within NEW ZEALAND. Our willing volunteer numbers is steady and with new offers of assistance welcomed. The ever popular electrical department is as busy as ever with sales and repairs, (maybe Joseph Lucas has contributed to this?). Incoming inventory has been MGB 1.800 engines and soon a selection of Ford zephyr parts.
Cheers, Tris Winstanley.

BRAYSHAW PARK WORKING PARTY 19 MARCH @ 08:30am
A working party is being organised by Brayshaw Heritage Park Administrators to clear & remodel the Brayshaw Park garden adjacent to the
Caretaker's Cottage & the telephone kiosk on 19 March 2022 starting at 08:30am for which volunteers would be appreciated.
The intent is to clear the garden completely and arrange a low maintenance area consisting of weed mat overlaid with crushed gravel and several garden beds for planting native flowering trees to encourage native wildlife. Picnic tables & seating will also be incorporated for the public.
Volunteers with suitable garden hand tools (shovels, rakes, hoes, mattocks, axes, saws etc) as well as chainsaws would be useful. An excavator and truck / trailer are being arranged. It is envisaged that the garden will be completely cleared with this working party to enable design arrangement to be finalised and reinstatement to proceed.
Please contact Don Laing for further details
