The Clean-Up — Thank you to the nine members who put in the ‘big ones’ (3.5 hours) yesterday to give the Shed a good clean-up. They were: Dick, Mark, Reg, Brian, Bob, Ray, Len, Shane & Paul. Even though the Shed is given a clean-up each week a though going over (like yesterday) needs to be an annual event.

The Probus Club had invited Shed members to a talk by the National Heart Foundation at the Alex McCullough this Wednesday 11th October but the speaker is now unavailable so the talk has been cancelled.
AFL Grand Final at the Shed — We had 15 members for the viewing on the 65″ TV screen. Only one true ‘Adelaide Crow’ supporter and no Richmond, the rest were barracking for either the Tigers or the Crows. Ian Erbacher won the prize as he picked the Richmond Tigers to win, was closest to the winning Tiger margin and picked Dustin Martin to win the ‘Norm Smith Medal’ for best on the ground. The only thing he missed on was ‘the first goal scorer’ (Rory Sloane-Crows). Thanks to Mark and Maureen Hardidge who provide the ‘treats’ at half time.
