NEW SHED UPDATE

Well it is finally going to happen.
All approvals received and we will begin within the next 2 weeks.
Due to the time it has taken since the DA was approved we have lost a number of Funding opportunities which has resulted in a significant shortfall.
However, we will continue with the Project as planned and hope that good fortune will help us along the way.
Thank you for all of your support and I trust that you will be able to visit us when all is completed.
See you in The Shed.
Regards
John Welland

New Shed Update

Well, what can I say. Our DA was approved 2 years ago and we still have not been able to start.
Every way we turn we are confronted with Red Tape and additional costs.
We are trying to build an American Barn Style Shed on Crown Land in the Carpark at Gosford Showground, not a Multistorey Highrise Apartment Block in the middle of the City.
We fell short of Funds due to monies which did not materialise and now find that the Pot is dwindling as a result of extra pressures being imposed on us.
I wish to apologise to our Members in The Shed, the Community which we serve and The Coast Shelter Organisation who are trying their hardest to help us overcome our difficulties.
Hopefully, the situation will soon improve and we will be in a position to provide the venue for the benefit of Men in our Community where we can continue to provide a service for our Local Non Government Organisations, Community Centres and Members of the Public.
Please bear with us and continue your support which is very much appreciated.
Kind Regards
John Welland
President Gosford Community Mens Shed Inc.

VALE Alex Solovey

It is with a sad heart that I inform Members of the passing of Alex Solovey.
Alex was a Member for many years and enjoyed sharing a joke and the occasional Ale at
'The Office" (Grange Hotel Wyoming) on a Friday after the Shed.
Alex had a good personality and will be missed by all.



Our thoughts are with Gwen and Family.
