Pension officers

Bob Ihlein, President of The Entrance Men's Shed has been a pensions officer of the RSL Sub-branch at The Entrance for a number of years. He could see that other pensions and welfare officers needed some up to date information about Mens Sheds, their aims, facilities and programs.


He arranged for a presentation to the group at the Ourimbah RSL at the regular monthly meeting of the Pensions Officers of the Central Coast.  With the new Shed Banners coming online he allowed enough time for their development and delivery and brought the whole show together for  Friday, 11 May.


Bob and Kim displayed the MScci banners and some of the individual shed banners still on hand and presented the current status of Men's Sheds on the Central Coast. There was a strong response from the group as they became more aware that the role of sheds addressses many similar objectives to the social side of their welfare work.


The Pensions and Welfare office were keen to book the Mobile Mens Shed for their family event on 28 October and have their own projects for engagement with kids, vets and their families.


The group also asked many questions about how to engage with Men's Sheds, support the aims of sheds and better provide for socialisation of Veterans at various stages of socialisation.

Shed Banners

There was quite a display of banners at the Mens Sheds Central Coast Inc montly meeting.

These banners are for each shed to display either at their own shed or at community events, anywhere they will make an impact to promote the shed. The sheds that attended were eager to take away their banners and show them off.

Eric has done a great job of setting out the banners for impact and relevant information. The size of the display does credit to the amount of work that went into resoucing, setting out and purchasing these marketing materials for the Central Coast sheds.

Guide for Community Board Members

The Guide for Community Board Members was distributed to those representatives of sheds attending the committee meeting this month.

Our thanks to Alison Harkness, Westpac for sourcing and delivering these vital resources for the shedders managing sheds on committees and board of sheds on the Central Coast.

Sawmill Demonstration at Alison Homestead

Ian Schultz from Lucas Mills put on an entertaining and informative show for the 34 men that turned up to view the display and enjoy a sausage sandwich on a beautiful sunny day at Alison Homestead.

Ian cut some logs for Mark from the Bateau Bay Mens Shed and then proceeded to make some slabs for Roman to turn into bush furniture around the Alison Homestead.

Thanks to the crew from Alison that kept up with the sausages and drinks for the hungry and thirsty spectators.
