The Men’s Shed is in the process of packing up and moving to a site in Darkes Forest Road. This is a temporary arrangement to keep the shed up’n’running until a permanent home is settled. Most of the equipment , tools etc have now been moved out of our existing site in Helensburgh and are in the process of being set up out at Darkes Forest (see photo!) where we are making good use of a number of shipping containers to store materials and also to use as workshops. We anticipate that the move will be completed by the end of January.

The process of moving, as we all know, is hard work and can be a bit fraught but we are getting there and we now have the end in sight. This changeable weather hasn’t helped – too hot one day, too windy, rainy the next! Fingers crossed things are a bit calmer over the coming few weeks.

While all this packing and lugging stuff around has taken up much of our time over the last few weeks, we are still a social group, happy to stop for a chat and a cuppa, and provide a friendly, supportive environment for our members. So do come on down if you are at all interested in joining in – once we have settled in our new home we’ll be very much back in business! Check out our website https://helensburghmensshed.org.au/ for updates on our move. Further details will be provided in the next Flame when we should be properly settled in our new home.
