Feast feedback and bike beginnings

Hello,

So the Vegan Feast and Film event was a huge success - thanks to all who participated!

The meal and movie had a 'kiwiana' theme; with nut loaf, mashed potato and gravy, roasties, colslaw and other salads, garlic bread and crumble for desert. About 50 people came to eat their hearts out and then watch the latest Topp Twins documentary 'The untouchable girls'. Laughs a plenty and a thought provoking film involving concepts of community and social change.

The event was a fundraiser to help set up a community bike workshop in Auckland- and this is already underway with free workshops to upskill folks happening regularly in the neighbourhood. The idea is to increase our own knowledge (and resources) to be able to share it with others out there - either at temporary or more permanent space.
