Shed Closed & Other News

August 6, 2020 By Paul L'Huillier

Future Shed Operations

The Shed has a duty of care to its members, and as a consequence of the Coronavirus threat, the committee has been forced to close the Shed to members. This is a Victorian Government health directive. 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. Click [HERE] for the VMSA directive.


Len Sims departure

Len and wife Adele are leaving the lovely Kiewa Valley and heading back to Queensland. Len has been a Shed member for six years and is a stalwart of its operations. He has been a committee member and is always available to lend a hand. Locally he has become famous for his ‘renovation’ skills. We wish Len and Adele all the best for the future.

Last Tuesday the Shed held a morning tea and presentation function to wish Len goodbye. There were 23 members in attendance.

From left: Len Sims & Dick Puttyfoot (president). The gift given to Len on his departure so he will not forget about the six years living in Mount Beauty. Thanks to Duncan Robertson for supplying the aerial photograph taken from a glider.
Twenty three members social distancing in the workshop for Len’s presentation.
