Hawera - ideas to the forefront

Hawera is a small Club compared to some but big on ideas!
In their recent Bulletin they spoke of the idea to set up a 'community facility' in line with the 'men's sheds' theme. This is a great idea. A drop in centre for people to meet, socialise and at the same time work on community or personal projects or just to have a 'cuppa' in a friendly and relaxed atmosphere.
Jenny and I visited the purpose built one in Masterton during our Club visits - a wonderful concept and I believe there is a place for them in the heart of cities as well with the increasing number of retirees living in apartments.
Is your Club looking for a new, 'signature' project? Why not investigate this idea a little more.
