Driving 11km out of town

Sometimes I need a ride to my parents place which is on Beach Road, 11km from my house on Cameron st. If someone can drop me there my parents can drop me home after my visit. Usually if I need a ride out there, it's between 4-5pm but I can't really schedule it too much in advance because of my health (see my profile for my health situation). If you are sometimes free at that time and wouldn't mind driving 11km to drop me off, often at short notice, please let me know. I am happy to reimburse the petrol costs, in addition to giving you the time credits. If I have a few people I can call on to take me then hopefully someone is available when I need it. To those who reply, thanks for being willing to be contacted about this from time to time. It's totally ok if you can't help when I request it. I will understand :-)

Cultural & Historical Knowledge of Staveley Forest/Sawmill Rd Bush

Part of the Staveley Camp Forest Restoration Project is to engage schools and local community in learning about biodiversity and the need to protect our degraded natural spaces. This includes working to develop a 'Head, Hands, Heart' environmental education programme. We see benefits for the forest itself and for the students and teachers in creating purpose built fun forest activities that can awaken interests in the students in subjects as diverse as ecology, history, creative writing, art and complex systems. We are looking for any cultural and historical knowledge about the bush itself and the immediate local area in order to weave it into our education programmes so that this knowledge can be sustainably and indefinitely retained. We are seeking local stories, memories, legends, historical events and any other interesting information. Why, for example, was a 9 hectare stand of forest left standing on SAWMILL rd?! If you have anything to offer, we would love to hear it. Please get in touch :-)

Environmental Weed Control Work

The Staveley Camp forest has a number of invasive weeds, many of which (notably contoneaster) are altering the fundamental structure of the forest. Where areas of the forest have been cleared of contoneaster it is obvious that this weed, when established, prevents the growth of any other species. Work to control the weeds is continuing in the Staveley Forest on a weekly basis and we would love your help! We use hand tools (loppers, secateurs, hand saws) and gel herbicide in a method known as 'cut and paste'. The work can be quite hard and heavy, but you can work at your own pace and there is no pressure to meet KPIs! The location is beautiful and you get to hang out with the birds and the bush. We can provide all the tools, gloves and protective eyewear, although if you have your own LEATHER work gloves (many of the weeds are spikey) bring these. Strong shoes and work clothes a must. Bring your own lunch or take a break at the Staveley Store just down the road :-) If you can make your own way to Staveley Camp and would like to spend some hours/days/years! helping clear weeds, please get in touch to arrange a time that suits us both. gen de spa 0211 345 802

Music lessons - Plucking the Upright Double Bass

That's right - it's on my bucket list - I've always wanted to play the upright double bass - and not with a bow. I love music but never played an instrument apart from the recorder aged 7 … hmm nope that doesn't count does it?! I'm hoping it's not a long shot and that we have an MC TimeBanker with a passion for slappin' the upright double bass. Maybe we could start up a Mid Canterbury TimeBank band... watch this space! :)

Car shares from Manaia area to New Plymouth and vice versa

Anybody going on a regular basis from Manaia/Hawera/Straford area that goes to New Plymouth on a regular basis who likes the idea of doing a car-share? Am occasionally also going to Levin and back, so if you wanting to share a car let me know. My car needs fixing and though it is running, don't want to do too many long distance trips. Happy to do short distance exchanges in the Manaia area to Hawera/Straford and back for the time being though. Car-share comes with shared fuel expenses

Part-time Shift Managers Needed

On The House is in need of a few reliable shift managers to lead service. This is a part-time role managing shifts as little as once a month to once a week with shifts starting about 2.30pm and ending about 6pm. The role consists of delegating tasks and coordinating with volunteers on shift. Shifts can be busy with shift managers dealing with volunteers, suppliers, visitors and handling last-minute changes. You will come in for a service shift or two to get an idea of how we operate before taking on any shift manager duties.  On The House is a non-religious, a-political charitable group that was started to create a space for the community to interact, build relationships and to serve free surplus food to those in need. We are part of the Free Store Movement in New Zealand and are completely run by volunteers. We collect food that would otherwise go to waste and redistribute it to anybody who is willing to patiently line up. We are all about Less Waste & More Taste!

Volunteers for food pick up

On The House was started to create a space for the community to interact, build relationships and to serve free surplus food to those in need. We are part of the Free Store Movement in New Zealand and are completely run by volunteers. We collect food that would otherwise go to waste and redistribute it to those who identify themselves as in need from a central location. Our charitable organisation is seeking a food pickup driver to pickup from a selection of food suppliers every week on Thursdays. Food is then dropped to our venue and redistributed from there. Pickup drivers do not have to participate in service - just pickup and drop off kai. The regular shift runs from about 3PM to about 4:30PM. Petrol is not provided. If you'd like to learn more, feel free to email us at info@onthehourse.org.nz!

Piano lessons

Hello! I would love to get some piano lessons, not every week, but just if and when it suits you. I played for many years (from age 6 to 18) but I am pretty rusty these days. If you aren't able to offer me lessons, but you have a piano at your home that you don't mind me playing for an hour or two, that would also be great. Cheers!
