Notes on 20 August meeting

Hello everyone

Yet another good turnout at the shed today, Walking in was to the buzz of chatter, with the sheddies checking out the latest drop off of furniture in need of repair from Refugee Services.

The meeting, as usual, started off with a cuppa and biscuits and talk of what's been happening with the sheddies over the last week.

After a fashion we settled in to 'talk shop' and covered the following topics:

  • Paul, the resident builder at Bunnings was on hand to deliver the last of the materials to make a start on the play stations for the Cats Protection League.
  • Work on the play station will start on Monday 24th, 10am if you would like to join the crew.
  • Paul has advised Bunnings are able help out with some off cuts that can assist with some of our repairs, thanks to Bunnings!
  • Norman will look into getting a job sheet formatted so we can make sure the jobs we take on are carried out in a timely fashion and will organise a poster, to help advertise our Menz Shed and to mention we are always happy to receive donated tools!
  • Garry to deliver posters advertising our rental space at the Design School.
  • We are waiting on information around zoning of the shed to understand what type of activities we can pursue that won't have restrictions around noise etc.
  • Bill made progress with the garden space outside the Soup Kitchen, where he under planted the cabbage tree, looking great Bill thanks for your efforts!
Meeting closed around 12.30pm
