Menz Shed Wellington meeting Thursday 13 August 2009 10.30 am

Here are the highlights of Thursday's gathering at Menz Shed Wellington.

The committee met earlier with the steering group to talk around some issues that need to be put in place, including:

• What the zoning (light industrial etc) of Haining St is so we know what kind of activities we will be able to run out of the shed
• Whether there may be noise restrictions etc when using some machinery.
  
• Organising a 'rules list' around workplace behaviour etc, it would be great if all sheddies have input into making up this list, as this is YOUR shed and YOU need to contribute to how you would like it run.
• Committee meeting out of the way, we welcomed the team from Bunnings, who spoke to us about their involvement with the Cats Protection League and the plan to build a 'cat playstation'. The sheddies mucked in and brought the already cut to length wood for the project into the shed, which will probably get assembled next week.
• The cabinet and washing machine that were delivered by Refugee Services for repair, are now repaired and ready for a refugee family
• .Keiran Monaghan, Primary Healthcare Nurse from Newtown Union Health paid us a visit, to talk to the group on mens health, primarily, the subject of prostate cancer. This was a very interesting presentation which the sheddies had lots of questions around and stories abounded! A healthy discussion to say the least. Keiran, is willing to be our 'resident nurse' and will be coming along to other shed meetings, which will be advertised beforehand.
• Norman brought along some 'logos' that he has been working on and would like sheddies to vote on which one we can use as the official 'Menz Shed Wellington' logo. This will then be used on our ID badges, posters, forms etc. Thanks for your efforts on this Norman!
