Due to things getting back to near normal after the Covid crisis, the members were once again able to attend their Xmas function at a venue away from the Shed.

We were to hold it at Bateau Bay Bowing Club & we asked for the   screened off area at the rear of the Bistro. The area has it's own bar with a barman with both requests for no cost. 

It was not a set meal so members could choose what they wanted from the menu.

The  were given a certain amount to pay for a meal and any cost above this to be met by them. 

The function was such a success that everyone asked for the same venue etc. for next year. Below is a few snaps of members and how the whole area was set up.  

 

 

 

 

  

 

 

 

 

All Eagles plumbing stores on the Coast have held a combined golf day annually since 2016,  (except  in the Covid crisis) to raise funds for worthy causes.

Since the inception they have split these funds with various      Coastal Men's Sheds.                    

Bateau Bay is one of these lucky sheds & this year we were presented with a cheque for $1350 by Clint the Long Jetty Branch manager.                            

This donation will be put to good use supporting the local population and is much appreciated. It is nice to know the local trades know & appreciate that we help the local Community without encroaching on their income. 

 

Many thanks to all the Plumbing Tradies for your generous efforts in raising these funds. 

   

 

 We have been hanging on for quite a while with the view of purchasing a new table saw to replace our 12 year old model. Due to the limited work area and volume of plywood we cut it was decided to buy a panel saw with outrigger support. The old saw was sold for a good price which helped with the cost of the new one. It was then left to our team of expert fitters to assemble and install the machine. The photos below show Clive and Steve hard at work with the assembly and leveling of the saw. 

I don't know what we would do without these fellars
