Taranaki timebank will have a stand at this event to promote TTB, our zero waste efforts & upsewing group. We need helpers for setup/packup and to run the stand & sales of craft items on the day. Event is held Sat 2nd Dec, Setup is from 7.30am, event runs between 10-3pm plus packup. Ideally with enough helpers we can allocate 2hr time slots so you won’t be there all day and can have time to wander the other displays. If you’re able to help, please contact Amy at TTB.SouthMain@outlook.com

I need help to dig out aged sheep pellets from a woolshed. Happy for the person to take 1/2 of what they dig out and the time taken up to 4 hours. Hope that makes sense. Of course open to negotiation :)
