Shed Roundup - August 2011

Swansea Shedspent about $80,000 in building funds.

DA in council for workshop. Day in Swansea last week and good response from “shedders” to hold stall.

Toys were sold.


Peninsula Shed: Slab laid and frame up.

Bateau Bay Men's Shed - Members attendance good.
$79,000 from Community Builders grant over 3 years. Council improvement grant  - $1700. CDSE  money $4,500.
Members survey to be distributed at AGM to determine needs/satisfaction.


Gosford Men's Shedhad to close for 1 day due to building activity at Coast Shelter. Missed out on 3 funding opportunities, one was from AMSA. Lot of activity at shed.


The Entrance Men's Shed – Finished their extension and now lining the extension. Mezzanine floor now erected.


San Remo Shed  A Shed member had a heart attack at the

Shed. Quick action by the team and he is now back at the Shed A stall at the Gwandalan Fair with Manno Men's Shed.  


Terrigal Shed – A fair at Terrigal Mens Shed on 10th September 2011


 
2232 Shed: Involved in community projects. Shed asked to build Awning over ramps - community project..

Received funding to build Mobile Men’s Shed with workable tools for demonstrations.


Manno Men’s Shed -

15 members – meeting with Wyong Council. Has identified 5 sites for WSC to look at. Brochures being printed – logo decided. Membership waning because meeting too often (weekly) and nowhere to do activities. Meeting was monthly

but losing members. Meetings now to go to fortnightly. Manno first community making job - Chocolate Wheel for community.


Wyong Men’s Shed: All info on MSCC website. DA in and hoping to be operational by Christmas.


Kincumber Men’s Shed: Wally indicated they have gone through structural change. Management committee formerly stood down due to insurance coverage issues. They are in need of administration support and maybe will have 2 ladies involved– coffee tables, rocking aeroplanes have evolved from three trailer loads of wood turning material. The good news is that we got half of the CDSE funds and Davistown provided$4,500.


Wally Morrison now a life member of Kincumber Men’s Sheds.
