For a limited time, there is an opportunity to bid for picnic tables built by apprentices at last month’s Wairarapa regional heat of the New Zealand Certified Builders [NZCB] Apprentice Challenge, with all proceeds going to the Cancer Society.
In the competition, carpentry apprentices from across the region went head-to-head over eight hours to build the high spec, sturdy picnic tables.
NZCB Apprentice Challenge manager Nick Matthews said the Wairarapa apprentices were delighted their hard work in the competition was now helping to raise money for such an important charity.
“Many of our member builders and apprentices have benefited directly or indirectly from the work the Cancer Society does to support kiwis who have cancer, and we’re delighted to be supporting them again through the NZCB Apprentice Challenge Sponsored by ITM,” he said.
In 2019, park benches made during that year’s NZCB Apprentice Challenge were donated directly to regional Cancer Society branches across the country for use at their facilities.
The auction is listed on NZCB’s Trade Me page – member search “nzcb1”.
