We hope our association with the Mangawhai Shed will extend long into the future and continue to deliver mutually beneficial results

We have encouraged the Mangahwai Shed to be located closer to the hub of Mangawhai and support any initiative that they may make in this direction

It is important for community groups to work together and support one another.

This community organisation is a positive and practical asset to the community

I've got my own shed but I love coming down to meet other people

I joined 'The Shed' after recently retiring and moving to the Mangawhai area. My vocational background is in engineering and more recently in horticulture. While I have always enjoyed the acquisition and dispersement of skills which The Shed offers it is not the principal reason for joining the jolly crew but rather for the company of the jolly crew. Both retirement and shifting to a new area can be daunting; when taken as a double helping it is more so. In this respect and in others the weekly meetings at 'The Shed' has helped ease an otherwise difficult time.
