Funeral for Richard Driver — Our condolences go out to John and Jan Driver on the death of their son Richard in a tragic car accident on Damms Road last week. The funeral will be held on Tuesday 16th January at 10:30 am at Lester & Son Funeral Directors, 49 Thomas Mitchell Drive, Wodonga.
Monthly BBQ Price Increase — The price of the monthly BBQ has remained at $5.00 for six years i.e. since the first BBQ the Shed conducted. At the October ’17 committee meeting it was moved to increase the fee by $2.00 starting with the February 2018 BBQ. So fee is now $7.00.
Kitchen/Recreation Room & Toilet Cleaning — The committee have decided that members who are regular attendees on work days or committee members will be placed on a Shed Cleaning Roster which starts this coming week. Two people are rostered on each week. The Roster does not include cleaning the workshop area as each member is responsible for cleaning up his work space at the end of the day. Members will be emailed a Roster and there is a paper copy to pick up at the Shed.
