Today Wednesday 19th August at 10:35am the Shed power was turned on by Project Manager Ian Howley.

All Shed members owe Ian a big thank you for his efforts over the last a 10.5 months in finally getting the power to the Shed.

We would like to thank Trish Dixon – Mount Beauty Neighbourhood Centre co-ordinator for allowing us to use the Centre’s power connection for the last 10 months. We couldn’t achieve what we have without her cooperation.
