Various Dates.

                                              Shoulder to shoulder we stand in the shed
                                              Or sit on the ramp with a coffee instead
                                              The splinters fly among the dust
                                              There is no limit to our products
                                              Be it a semi to make any truckie proud
                                              And homes for birds and possums abound
                                              From boxes to boards and clowns we will try
                                              As lunch comes round we might burn a snag
                                              Tho the clean up is always a drag
                                              At the end of the day the shovel comes out
                                              To clean up the bovine or pine fallout
                                              Then the shed is ready for another day
                                              And we wait for someone to climb the ramp and say
                                              G'day ..........

THE BEGINNING

What a year we have had. From the first meeting in November 2010 until now
we have seen startling growth assisted by unbelieveable support from both the
private and business sectors.
We have rapidly grown from a small core group meeting at Centacare to
gathering around a laminex kitchen table in an empty shed with the company
of a possum to an enterprise that many other sheds only hope to copy.
While the kitchen table and the possum are still with us , our numbers have
grown to around thirty with more than half regularly participating in activities.
There is still equipment on our wish list that would make some tasks easier
but jobs are now being completed with regularity and very good quality.
We all agree with Peter that it is not possible to give sufficient thanks
to Sharon and Centacare for the foresight to see the need for a Mens Shed in our community.
Sharon's drive for the original purchase of tools gave us a concrete start
that the other Sheds wait months to achieve.
