Future Shed Operations
The Shed has a duty of care to its members, and as a consequence of the Coronavirus threat, the committee met on Tuesday morning and decided to close the Shed to members. Because our members are in the most vulnerable age group, this closure will stay in place until the health authorities indicate that the threat has passed.
This decision is in line with AMSA and VMSA recommendations to close Sheds at this time.
