Several years ago New Zealand Steel Mining Ltd ( Kawhia ) donated two diesel engines to a society in Franklin. Records have been lost of the name and contacts of that group of people and we are now trying to track them down. Possibly it was your organisation.
The reason is that there is now a quantity of spares that have become redundant and these could be made available.
The engines concerned are Blackstone 8 cylinder.

Are you intouch with Ailsa Carey of REAP?
She is setting up a shed in Nelson as well as running the Picton Shed.
You two need to talk!

Hey there people in Pukeoware –
(I grew up in Waiuku, many moons ago. My father was born in Pukeoware – small world.)
I am most interested in how you set up the men’s shed there and how its all going…
How is/was it funded and given just this short blurb sounds like some great achievements already. How is for you that the DHB is recommending disabled? What does that mean for you in terms of coordination etc.
Be MOST interested to talk to you, as we would love to set one up here.
cheers
