We have passed one year at our new location – almost settled in!
We are now in a position to make greater use of these facilities and to build the role of the Armidale Men’s Shed as a significant location for arts and crafts and for men’s health. We seek to hold a monthly event at the shed on the second Sunday, beginning on March 11. That day will be an open day running from 8.30 till 2.30 that includes:
- A theme related to our timber and joinery work – the first theme is the “making, repair and maintenance of outdoor furniture”
- A car boot sale
- The shed will be offering a range of furniture, wooden toys, surplus tools and timber products
- There will be an art gallery with items for sale
- Food and drinks will be available
- A raffle of a load of firewood
- Information about the shed, its programs and services
Further information will be provided via the website, the Armidale Men’s Shed facebook site or by contacting the shed on {local landline prefix}87 4057.
We also note the passing of John Brandis a member for some years. An event celebrating John’s life will be held at the Bowling Club on Saturday March 3 at 2pm. No black clothing, just happy stories about John and his life.
Regards
Roy Powell
