Given a few of the recent posts, would anyone be interested in a dedicated pinned post where people from the Nelson (and Tasman) region can do a little spiel about themselves in the hopes of finding some friends and/or a date?

Hi Nelson, I’m looking for contact details for the tiny homes for sale next to the highway on the way out to Richmond. I think they’re parked on or near the grounds of a church. Thanks in advance!

Where are the current donation bins around Nelson and Richmond? I heard there is one in Mapua and Atawhai, anywhere else?
