ADSSI have been extremely generous in their support of the Shed. From the initial offer of the workshop space, the grant to establish the Shed equipment and the ongoing support of our operations. As a small token of our appreciation Mark constructed the ADSSI logo as a string art and had it framed with an engraved plaque of appreciation. The piece of art was presented to Colleen Copper, ADSSI Service Manager, at a special morning tea. Colleen thanked the members said the gift would be given pride of place in a prominent area of her building.
Now that the scouts have one billy cart Allen is working on his second, updated model which he promises will be more streamlined and of course much faster. We understand he has even hired a wind tunnel to test his latest model!
Allen was present at the Tumbi Umbi Scout group to see his latest billy cart presented. All the boys had to have a try and by the time Allen had left there had been no serious injuries.
The Shed set up continues and Graham proudly displays the shadow board he made to accommodate the wood lathe equipment.
Barrie is trying to dictate a submission to Nigel but it appears Kevin keeps interrupting. There's always someone in the typing pool who spends all their time gossiping. Not Nigel though, as he is very task oriented and just wants to get on with his work. Barrie in the mean time is always very patient and just waits until the little spat is over.
The friendly, expert & handsome staff of the newly established Bateau Bay Men's Shed typing pool are waiting and ready to accept your orders. Kevin & Nigel won the contest to see who would become the faces of the Shed and promote our activities (doesn't say much for the other entrants)
