where are we

Building F is The Entrance Men's Shed in The Entrance Community Centre. When the Shed is open on monday and friday the carpark is open to allow access.

Come on down and have a look at the shed ....

day one

Day one and the facility look fantastic in its landscaped setting. Alarms worked well and there were even a few people wandering by.

Andrew from WSC dropped by to run through the entry and departure check sheets.

There plenty to do to set the shed up .. .anyone have a sturdy bench .. some outdoor funiture ... a jug or urn.

There is plenty of equipment coming and amenities for members and volunteers. But for the time being it's a bit spartan.

The crew from Glengara are bringing some tools on Monday 25th May.

If you are coming to the shed bring a chair !!

Mingara visitors

Dave Betts and John Millard from Mingara were at the shed early this morning to check out the newly opened facility and meet members of the committee.

This being the first opportunity for the new keyholders to open the shed and work the alarms, all went smoothly.

Beautiful morning for a visit to the shed.

Dave Betts, Col Kennedy, John Robert and John Millard under the awning for an early morning chat.

TEMS ready

The Entrance Men's Shed is all set to go ... the fence is up and forms a formal enclosure for the shed. The shed itself is now emptied of the site machines and materials.

It is all ready to go .. and waiting for the shedders to turn up and get working.

Anticipate getting the key this week !!

TEMS in Landscape

The Entrance Neighbourhood Centre precinct is nearing completion with the finalising of landscaping, pathways and gardens. Certainly the newly finished Shed complete with awning is now looking like part of the area.

Since the visit with Wyong Shire Council at the start of this month, the shed now has a driveway, fence and new awning at the front.

All ready for use, the contractors are using the shed for materials storage during the completion of landscaping so its already functioning as a shed, albeit until the official handover.

Pathways and fences, all now completed have integrated the Shed building into the site all ready for an opening in the near future.

First Entry

Julie Vaughn, Community Development Manager for Wyong Shire Council invited The Entrance Men's Shed committee to view the current progress on the shed.

The Committee was delighted to have this opportunity for first entry to the shed. Chairman Geoff led the contingent of John Sharples, Alan Kember, Col Kennedy, Kim Hopkins and John Roberts through the construction zone to the front of the shed.

Good to get the feel of the size and location in the overall project. The shed is pretty much complete inside. Still waiting on the awning that is dependent on the laying of surface outside, in front of the shed that will manage the run off from the Neighbourhood Centre precinct. Then there will be the fence and gates to complete "the Shed".

Planned date for access to the site to begin operation is the end of April 2009.
