Centrelink Forum

The Entrance Men's Shed flyers on display at the Centrelink Forum at Mingara.

Organised and promoted by Centrelink, many services presented, displayed or promoted the services that they can offer. This included Salvos, Samaritans, Centacare, Department of Housing, Dept of Fair Trading and many other community groups.

There was considerable interest in The Entrance Men's Shed from a broad crossection of services dealing with men who are in need of a place to spend time, develop skills, build relationships and improve their self esteem by contributing at The Shed.

the long and short of it

Geoff was covering his ears to that he wouldn't have to listen the words of wisdom ...

"measure twice... cut once"


after it appears the bench was too long or the top was too short !!!

A quick shop for sauce, bread and marg and we had the makings of a lunch at the shed.

TEMS Equipment

The main pieces of equipment that The Entrance Men's Shed acquired from the Open Shutters donation are the large air-compressor, a photocopier and a large table saw.

All equipment that would have to be purchased to fit out the workshop. All in good working order and the three phase power outlets are getting a workout already.

Much of the other items were too large to fit The Entrance Shed but were keenly snapper up at other sheds seeking to expand the capability of their sheds and ensureing that access to these excellent machines remains within the reach of Mens Shed's in the Central Coast and Hunter region.
