The Helensburgh Men’s Shed motto is ‘Serving the 2508 Community.’ Sometimes we serve
just a little bit further.
One of our member’s, John ‘Carver’ Bucknell, now resides at Frank Vickery Village at
Sylvania. His Coffee and Chat Club asked the Men’s Shed if we could create a Tumbling
Tower game for them, with special numbering to keep score (not that the Chat Club members
are competitive or anything…)
We love to help out wherever we can, and with timber kindly donated by Patrick from
Heathcote Handyman Timbers and our new Laser Burner we were able to create a great, and
noisy, game for the Village people.
So, do you have that special project you’ve always wanted to create? Why don’t you come
along to the Men’s Shed and talk to the blokes?
A great way to do that is our First Monday of the Month Shed Afternoon Tea and Tour,
coming up on Monday 6 th June from 2:30-4:30. Snacks, tea, coffee, soft drinks, maybe a
sausage Sanger; come and see what we have to offer, make new friends, learn a new skill and
have a chat.
At your Men’s Shed, we practice the 13 R’s — yes, Thirteen! We Rejuvenate, Resurrect,
Revive, Reimagine, Recycle, Repurpose, Repair, Restore, Refresh, Revitalise, Rescue,
Remake and Refurbish. And we do that with our blokes as well!
