Real Sheds doing Real Things


Kincumber Men's Shed was abuzz with the news that the shed had won an award.

There it is sitting on the sign-in book in front of the shed this morning. For those who either can't read the photo or haven't seen the award .. the etching in the glass award says ..


Central Coast Community Congress
Real People Doing Real Things
Community Building Awards

Voluntary Group/Organisation Award

Presented to Kincumber Men's Shed
sponsored by Housing NSW 2008.

Peter Jessop and Kim Hopkins were also acknowledged in these award ceremonies held at the Terrigal Surf Club last Thursday evening. Despite the inclement weather both Peter and Kim turned up to accept a Certificate of Nomination in the Category of Individual in a Voluntary Capacity.

As the Certificate of Nomination for the Shed says.... Community Building is about people from the community, including individuals, groups, government organisations and businesses taking steps to find solutions to issues within their own communities using the strengths and assets of the community.

Peter, Kim and all the men of the Kincumber Men's Shed extend their thanks to those that nominated them for inclusion in these awards.

Its not the shed that won this award, its the combined efforts of every individual man that turns up and does his part in making the Kincumber Men's Shed a welcoming community of Real Men doing Real Things.
