Trades and Technology Lends a Hand at the Certified Builders’ Charity Build

November 24, 2014

Last Friday some Carpentry Level 3 students joined the team at the Certified Builders’ Charity Build for the Hawke’s Bay Wood Turners Guild.  The job involved re-roofing the old Scout building at the Wood Turners’ new location in Francis Hicks Avenue in Hastings.
