Gday,
I hope everyone had a happy and safe new year. Our shed had a quiet January, but we are slowly getting back into the swing of things. Last year was a good year for our shed, with quite a few community projects either completed or getting under way. The shed was happy to help build and complete the new bbq area at the Scarsdale town hall so it is now ready for hire. To our regular supporters we say thank you and hope your support is ongoing into the future. Also thank you to the community for their support of our shed and our community activities.
We were asked to do a sausage sizzle for childrens week at the Well in Smythesdale late last year. The day went well and the kids had a ball by all accounts.
Our latest raffle was drawn in December. The winner of the $100 Bunnings voucher was R Draper. Thank you to all that supported the raffle. Thank you to the Scarsdale general store and the Scarsdale Hotel for selling tickets. Our next one will be getting under way in the near future.
We were lucky enough to receive a $500 donation in January from the Smythesdale progress association. So thank you to them for the recognition and faith in us. The money will be very handy this year with our plans of finding a new home.
Speaking of which, we will hopefully know in the next few weeks if our bid to use the old Newtown cricket club site for our permanent home will go ahead. We have been working on this for some time, so hopefully Golden plains shire council will say yes at this months council meeting at Linton. Fingers crossed.
We have a couple of new members to go with the new year, so welcome and we hope you enjoy being part of our shed.
Our fund raising idea of collecting old vehicle batteries and scrap metal is slowly picking up speed. If you have any batteries or scrap, please call us and we can come and collect them or we can let you know where to drop them off.
If you are thinking of joining our shed or want to know more of what mens sheds do, please call us and hopefully we can help or put you on to someone in your area that can help.
Stay safe.
