JUST YAKKIN'

 Well 2023 has gotten underway without too many dramas anywhere. The year has started for Eden Men's Shed a little slowly sales wise but we are all in good health, which is a really good thing for us, but we will persevere and we only see things getting better for us as the year progresses. We are looking rather expectantly to our upcoming Men's Health Muster on 21 March 2023 at Club Sapphire. Discussions have started in regards to prospective speakers and stalls, and preparations for the venue are proceeding very nicely thank you. One of the, hopefully, speakers may be Wayne Wigham, who started playing 1st grade rugby league with Balmain (Sydney suburb) back in 1976 when he was 17. He is a great speaker and very entertaining. You can read his story here blackdofinstitute.org.au/resources-support/personal-stories/wayne/  This has yet to be confirmed, but I will keep you all posted.

Special event

 Hi all .... well those of you that read this blog anyway. First up - the members of Eden Men's Shed would like to wish the winner of our End of Year Raffle (2022), Belinda, the best of wishes for taking out the prize on offer this year ... $200 worth of groceries, a handmade kitchen/entertainment trolley (made at Eden Men's Shed) and 3 Coles gift vouchers. This years (2023) raffle looks to be bigger. A local take away (no names just yet folks - sorry) has donated three $30 gift vouchers to be added to the raffle, so it looks to be bigger and better already! Now for the good news. Eden Men's Shed Inc. recently obtained a grant through the Australian Men's Shed Association to hold a Men's Shed Muster here on the far south coast of Australia. The event is scheduled/pencilled in for 21 March 2023 and will have speakers and a few stalls. Hopefully it will work out well for us. Lou
