This week at the Shed - Thursday 11 February

On Thursday there was discussion around setting up a regular programme for the shed.  Some activities discussed are as follows:

Doug has advised that he is involved with a walking group who meet regularly and has suggested that any Sheddies who would like to partake, can meet at the following locations:

Each Monday the group meet at 10am at the Cornerstone (2 Ganges Road), which is the Community House in Khandallah, this walk usually goes for 1 hr.

On checking the bus timetables, the only bus (free to SuperGold Card holders) that will get you there on time leaves from the Railway Station (stop D) buses no 43 or 44 at 9.03am.  The bus journey takes approx. 30 mins.

The other walking group meet every second Wednesday (next date 24 Feb, then fortnightly thereafter) in Johnsonville, at Raroa Park, Burma Rd, between Malvina Major & Onslow  College. A train can be caught to Raroa Station and there is a track from the station that leads to Raroa Park.

These walks usually take in historic places of interest and or flora and fauna and are more of a 'dawdle' than a workout! The Wednesday walk is 2hrs approx.

If you are interested in joining the walking groups, for more information call Doug on 938 7965 or 0274373285.

Other interests noted:

  • There was  interest in arranging cooking classes for the sheddies. Alan will make some inquiries to arrange this.
  • Next week, starting on Tuesday 10am, there will be woodwork activity at the shed.  Any one interested in giving a helping hand to build the Shed's box gardens are most welcome to join in.  It is probable that this work will continue on Thursday 10am also. 
  • Inquiries are being made into the possibility of a regular Tai Chi class at the shed - watch this space.
