Information please

Yes I am preparing (mid March),  to visit sheds in Aussie and the UK with assistance from a Winston Churchill Fellowship. Apart from harvesting hazel nuts, chest nuts, walnuts, Nashi, pears, grapes, apples and passionfruit from the garden, trees and vines at this time, I am also keen to hear from you if you re courses for adults in the community. I am exploring a picture of what men are accessing in terms of personal development / interest courses in NZ communities in particular (but further afield internationally too).
If you would like to assist me.......please answer the questions below and forward your responses to me.

Temporary home just the ticket

You can't hold a good man down and this fine bunch of men and supporters celebrates Andrew's (far right) initiative in offering us a man-space with some tools as a temporary venue while we look for a new venue. Tino Pai Andrew. Really appreciate also the visit from Australia of Alex (2nd L) and wife Lorelle (2nd R front) to give us added support. Awesome to see you again supporting our shed from afar.
