Place of Reflection

Thats a pun... the "reflections" in the title... but seriously, these are two items that suggest a bit of reflection.

On the far left of this photo is the "Project Board" where current projects are listed along with the Project Driver. . . a good record of whats currently important as projects and the person taking responsibilty for planning, progressing and finishing each Project.

Then there is the empty cabinet. . . lets see if that fills up with trophies, certificates of appreciation and tokens of gratitude. . . the Future !!

Bad Boys

Hoppa was hard at work on the school desk being restored at the shed for the local butcher. The desk is certainly looking much revived now and the lads Hoppa and Phil, decided to try out the bench seat.

Unfortunately, they must have played up that morning or were talking too much when they could have been working.

The punishment was six of the best from Headmaster Charles.

Christmas BBQ

Kincumber Men's Shed invites members, their families and interested members of the local community to the Kincumber Men's Shed Christmas Party and BBQ.

Sausages and bread will be well supplied and tea & coffee will be abundant. To round out the nutrional value of our meal, members are encouraged to turn up with a plate of salad to supplement the meal or something sweet to round out the feast.

The members of Kincumber Men's Shed will again donate toys to the Aunties & Uncles annual Christmas hamper appeal.

Looking forward to seeing you there from 10 am on Monday, 15 December 2008.

Please RSVP by 12 December 2008

Mobile Men's Shed

Peter Jessop and Alan Sparkes discussing the height and function of the new superstructure for the Mobile Men's Shed.

This model shed mounted on a trailer donated by Tom Van Dam will be used to promote the Central Coast and Hunter Mens Sheds throughout the region.

Blame Kevin

I can't quite remember why they were blaming Kevin 07 but Ernie and Peter were certain that he did it.

It is good to see such happy smiling faces around the shed ... I am sure they are up to good and no good at the same time !!

No curmudgeons in this shed!!

Shed art

Perhaps it will become a major new movement in modern Australian art the art that depicts what happens in "the shed".

Of perhaps it is reminiscent of the the soviet and eastern bloc art that celebrates the worker achievements and see the form for art in the industrial landscape.

It certainly lifts the mood and spirit of the meeting room at Kincumber Men's Shed to have this painting decorating the walls of the meeting room.

Poems and paintings on the walls .... now maybe we should change the name to the Kincumber Craft and Culture Centre ... hmm..

Ode to the "Shed" Men

Hospital Art Inc have provided a literary accolade to the Kincumber Men's Shed. This Ode to the "Shed" Men was penned by Denny Burcher. The framed poem now hangs above the office desk in the meeting room.

Our thanks to both Denny and Hospital Art Inc.
