Gosford ANZAC Service Saturday 18th April 2015

The City of Gosford turned out in force to remember those who served 100 years ago and all who followed and made their contribution in all  conflicts since.

Gosford Community Mens Shed was proud to contribute by constructing the Flame of Rememberance for Gosford RSL to be placed in Gosford City Stadium for this event.

Lest We Forget.

SHED UPDATE

We are well underway with our plans to relocate to Gosford Showgrounds.
The original Plans approved by Council have to be redrawn and submitted to Council as an ammended DA due to the reduced size as agreed by the Showground Trust Committee.
It will now be 21m wide by 16.4m deep. This is adequate for our needs, will be more disabled friendly and will cater for all of our activities.

Once approved, it will be full steam ahead with all hands on deck to help with the fitout.
Unfortunately, we did not receive the Grant of $40k for the fitout so we will have to sell a few more sausages and attend more markets to help us achieve our goal.

Many thanks to Chris Holstein M.P , Lucy Wicks M.P. and Laurie Maher and Coast Shelter for your valuable assistance in helping us in our endeavours.

On Saturday 14th March some of the Men from the Shed went along to Bunnings West Gosford  to put together a setting for the Gosford PreSchool. The Materials were kindly donated by Bunnings.
