SHED UPDATE
We are still awaiting the go ahead from the Lands Dept so that we can get on with the task of building our new shed.
Meanwhile the Men are busy working on Community Projects and assisting our Local Residents with repairs to furniture, constructing a tank for the Steiner School to house their colony of Stick Insects etc.
We have had a Ford Transit Van donated by Coast Shelter for which we are extremely grateful and are seeking a Sponsor for the Rego and Insurance Costs each year. If you can assist please contact us on 0466266083 or email gosfordshed@gmail.com
The new Management of Goodyear Tyre Service in Donnison Street Gosford assisted us by supplying 2 New Tyres, repairing the steering rack and doing a wheel alignment and wheel cylinder repair at a very generous price we thank them for their assistance and highly recommend them for your auto service needs.
Watch this space for further developments.
See you in the Shed

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.
Photo shows Peter Jones, Doug Slatter from the Shed and Tyne from Bunnings.
