Mayor visit for Seniors Week

Seniors Week has been celebrated with three consecutive open days at the Bateau Bay Men's Shed.

Today, Wyong Shire Council Mayor, Doug Eaton took the opportunity to visit the Bateau Bay Men's Shed. He was welcomed by the shedders, well fed on sausage sandwiches, a popular lunch at Men's Shed everywhere.

Doug was given a full tour of the shed by President John Sharples and Secretary Kevin Armstrong. They recognised the role of ADSSI in establishing and supporting the Bateau Bay Men's Shed. They explained the role of the shed as a positive influence in men's lives and the focus on men's health.

Kevin and John were also keen to show the developing plans for the Community Garden and amenities planned to support this new project adjacent to the shed.

The Mayor was impressed with the workshop, the role that the shed plays in the community and the enthusiasm with which all the men had contributed to making the Bateau Bay Men's Shed an important community facility.

Doug said he was very comfortable in the workshop environment!!
