24.01.2022 Looking forward to Sunday and hopefully positive news about reopening . Probably if positive with restricted numbers.

24.01.2022 First day opening after 8 weeks closure. Things went smoothly with 15 members attending. A members manual and a supervisors manual have been produced. Already some tweeking being done to them. New signage is to be installed at the shed tomorrow. The strong wind played havoc with the signs we put on the gate and a couple will probably need replacing tomorrow. We are open every weekday with our first Thursday opening being next week. We will be open next Monday even though it... is a public holiday. Visitors need to make an appointment to visit whatever the reason for the visit. If you haven't an appointment time you can ring 5255 2548 when at the gate to see if we have the capacity to admit you. See more

22.01.2022 Had a great lunch last Wednesday. Thanks to all those members who lent a helping hand. The shed will only be closed on public holidays for Christmas and the New Year. Last week we picked up 2 trailer loads from Woodlands and The Avenue Kindergatens - 1 from each. We'll be working hard during January repairing and refurbishing all of these things so they'll be ready for the start of the Kindergarten year in 2021. The shed has entered into a partnership with Woodlands Kindergar...ten. We're still working on what this will actually mean. We've developed a range of things for sale. If you're looking for a last minute gift call in to see what we have. We're open Tuesday 9 to 3, Wednesday 9 to 1 and Thursday 9 to 2. Amongst the things we have are charcuterie boards, bird & possum nesting boxes, wall hanging planters, letterboxes, bird feeders, children's tables and chairs. See more

11.01.2022 Yesterday reusable masks turned up at the shed. These have been provided by the State Government. I ordered them a week or so before we closed. Members can get 2 free masks. Let me know if you would like some and I will leave them in my letterbox for you to pick up. Hope all our members are going well and coping with the regulations. Best wishes to Alby and Don Everett who are dealing with health issues at the moment. Wish we could visit, but unfortunately we can't but rest ...assured you have all our best wishes . If you can't get out to pick up the masks I'll see if I can organise delivery for you. If any members do need anything picked up, such as groceries or medications please contact me so we can organise pick up & delivery for you. Give some thought to ringing a member to check out how they are going. If you need a current contact list just let me know. Stay safe & well, Bruce W See more
