It was decided to approach the Council about setting up a “Men’s Shed” in Newstead. Our local councillor, Michael Redden will talk to council on our behalf. John Rowland is looking into how we go about applying for grants to get started.
Until we find out what grants are available we are looking for a temporary shed in our area at
which we can meet. If anyone has a shed we can use until we get our own it would be great.
Every Tuesday morning at 11.00 am at Dig Café some of us get together and have an informal chat over coffee, you are most welcome to join us.
Our first formal get together will be “MENS HEALTH NIGHT’. This will be on Wednesday 28th April 2010 commencing at 7.30pm at Newstead Community Centre. Our guest presenter for the night will be Dr Charles Kerr, who is donating his time to this very worthwhile evening. A gold coin donation for light supper would be appreciated. This is a guys night only.
As a small way of fund raising for the Men’s Shed, Barry is happy to sharpen your
knives for a $5.00 donation, just ring him on 5476 2436 or drop them into 6 Canrobert Street, Newstead.
Our next B.B.Q will be held on Tuesday 13th April at the RTC commencing at 6.00pm. Bring along any ideas you might have to get our Newstead Men’s Shed up and running.
Barry 5476 2436 or John 0418 506 149
