    Hi team,

    Thank you so much for your generous support of the Women’s Shed. Thanks to your help we’ve been able to build our shed! We are opening this weekend and would love for you to join us to celebrate.

    We’ll have a bbq, drinks, hands on tool demos, membership sign ups, raffles and more!

    Thanks again for your support and encouragement, hope to see you in the shed sometime! X

    Kia ora everyone,

    Thank you so much for supporting and being on this journey together. This year has been busy with fundraising and planing how the new shed will run, what membership options we will have and how everybody will be able to access the amazing new space we are building!

    We are set to behind construction end of Feb/early March depending on how fast we can raise the final amount required so please help us along by sharing this page with your networks and helping spread the word about what we are build together here in Tahuna Queenstown x

    I hope everyone is having a great start to the year. More updates to come!

    Alex

  • Big Shed News!

    We spent the afternoon out in Cromwell with Hamish at Cyclone Sheds to talk through our shed build! We will be building a 5.5m x 18m Women’s Shed!

    We’ve moved away from timber framing to a steel framed portal shed to speed up the build time and also bring the costs down to make all of our shed dreams come true!

    Thank you everyone again for being in this journey with us and supporting our mahi.

    The next update will be shed plans! 👀🙌🏽
