Well now ... Eden Men's Shed has had a phenomenal weekend selling stuff!
Our Garage/Car Boot Sale did not attract any sellers, however, the nice weather brought out the buyers. We passed the sales for the previous 2 years by a long way - more than expected. So we may be doing it again next year!!! Here's hoping.

On the cruise ship sales front - wow! It was our best day ever! A quick start to begin with, then things slowed down due to the rain for a couple or three hours, then we were flat chat! Sold all of the fire pokers we had on display.

Did very well with donations as well - far exceeded our expectations.
The next ship in is on Saturday 19 November 2022, and we will be, again, outside Twofold Arcade selling our goodies.

 Nearly forgot to mention that Eden Men's Shed will be selling raffle tickets for its End of Year Raffle. Tickets will be sold at our cruise ship stall outside Twofold Arcade when the ships are in, and outside the exit of Coles, Imlay Street, Eden from the 3 December 2022. Tickets will be on sale until 31 December 2022. The prize is a kitchen trolley (hand built at Eden Men's Shed), groceries to the value of $200 and Coles vouchers. Tickets are $2 each, 3 for $5 or 7 for $10. You have to be in it to win it folks.

Hope to see you all there.

Signing off for now ... Lou

Hey Hey Hey

 Hey hey hey Folks. I know, it has been a while ... but since the ships stopped sailing in (excuse the pun) not much has been going on! Well that was a tiny little fib. Eden Men's Shed has actual been flat out!!! We have been trying extra hard to make and create things to sell, but have been inundated with a huge amount of requests from all over the place. The biggest has been a request by the Eden Port Authority to make and install 10 huge, heavyweight benches to go into the wharf precinct in and around the Eden Visitors Information Centre at Snuggle Cove. These have to be completed by 16 October 2023 - a week before the first cruise ship of the season arrives on 24 October! The first of these are just about ready to be installed! Couple this with requests to refurbish/repair a side table, musical jewellery box, restore a 75 year old baby stroller, design and make a plinth for a model boat and everything else that came in through the door and TRYING to make items to sell to the pa...

Whale Festival

Well the Eden Whale Festival is nearly upon us! And I think it has been worth the wait! It is to be held on the weekend 13-15 October 2023, with the main festivities on at the Barclay Street Sports Grounds on 14 October. There will be fun and game for the whole family, plenty to eat and drink and lots for you all to buy, even from  Eden Men's Shed. We are now with Return & Earn as one of their listed charities. So, if you have the inkling to return your bottles and cans at one of their depots and feel in the mood to donate the funds, think of Eden Men's Shed Inc. Lastly ... the passenger cruise ships are returning on 23 October 2023 - with the first ship in being the Royal Caribbean Brilliance of the Seas. As usual Eden Men's Shed Inc. will have a stall outside Twofold Arcade, Imlay Street Eden. Lastly, Christmas on Imlay is also nearly upon us. It will be held on Thursday evening, 14 December 2023. Should be lots to see and do ... and EMS will have a stall then as well...
