On Thursday 19 November Shed members will be hosting the ADSSI Board of Management and Senior Managers when they visit for the first time. ADSSI staff have been following the Sheds development with interest and are keen to promote its use with their clients. We feel that as our "settling in & setting up" period is coming to its conclusion now is the time to open our doors to the Board Members and Senior Managers who have so kindly provided us with the building and the funds to make this workshop the envy of many.

During the morning senior staff will visit to see a 'working shed' and will have the opportunity to talk to our members and to visualise how our operations can be integrated into their clients activities. Later in the day we hope as many of the Board Members as possible will be present to share lunch with us and to discuss the progress made so far and our plans for the future.

The Leadership Team

This is how a cheeky member views the leadership team. President John driving, Treasurer Nigel safe in the middle and Secretary Kevin riding shotgun in the back. Oh for some respect please.

Carving a Bushwalking Stick

John our "Wood Carver in Residence" concentrates as he carves a rope pattern along the length of his bushwalking stick. He still has to start on the animals he will carve toward the top of the stick before he finishes it all off with a turned knob on the top. Keep at it John you'll get there.

Master & Apprentice

George the supervisor keeps a close eye on Ken the apprentice as another section of the Shed comes together.

Plenty of Advisers

Do all of you fellows know what you are looking at?

Can I have First Go?

Every man needs a shed and every shed needs a train set!

Any One in There?


Just checking all is clear before turning our lathe on for the first time.
