Gday,

  Hope everyone is well.

  Our shed is pleased to report that we received a donation earlier this year from the Victorian mens shed association in the form of a defribulator. We thank them and hope we never have to use it.

  Some of our shed members attended the Golden plains shire council meeting at Linton the other night to see what the outcome would be of the councils decision to let us use the old Newtown cricket site for a new home. I am happy to say that the council voted unanimously to let us use the site. We would like to say a very genuine thank you to council for their decision. We have a meeting planned with council in April for the purpose of working out the best way to achieve what we would like to do at the site for the benefit of our community into the future. So thank you to all that have helped getting us this far, and we hope your support is there in the future as we intend to make this opportunity an asset for the whole of the community. 

  Our sheds Easter raffle is under way. There is a first, second and third prize of easter egg baskets. If you would like to buy a ticket or two, you can purchase them from the Scarsdale general store, the Scarsdale hotel, the Smythesdale post office, and the Smythesdale butchers. It will be drawn just before Easter, and the winners will be notified by phone.

  We are still collecting old vehicle batteries and scrap metal for fund raising, and have decided to keep it going. Please call us if you can help out.

  We are now selling used IBC tanks for fund raising. Please see on our services available page for more details.

  Stay safe and look after each other.
