Western Australian State Government Grant

The Shed has received a $5000 grant from the Western Australian State Government following the 2025 elections.  This has enabled us to replace our old wood lathe, update one of our drill presses to a variable speed version, and to purchase a new battery operated orbital sander. Our thanks to John Carey and Frank Paolino for their ongoing support of our shed.

Hi members,

A reminder the shed will be closed with the last day at the shed before our Christmas closure will be Saturday 20th reopening on the 6th January 2026. On behalf on the committee, I would like to wish all members a Happy Christmas and a healthy New Year.

Grill’d Donation Initiative

Hi members,

I want to share some exciting news: we have a jar at Grill’d Leederville once again! For those who may not be familiar, Grill’d has a fantastic initiative where every time you dine there, you receive bottle caps to place in one of three jars, and we are lucky enough to have one of those jars.

At the end of the month, the jar with the most caps will receive a generous donation of $500.00 from Grill’d. This is a wonderful opportunity for us, as the money will be incredibly useful when we concrete the floor between the containers.

So, the next time you’re craving a delicious burger, head over to Grill’d Leederville, enjoy your meal, and don’t forget to drop your caps in our jar. Every cap counts and brings us one step closer to our goal.

Thank you for your support and participation!

Cheers, Roy

Cyber Security

Hi Members

As I’m sure you are aware cyber threats are becoming more sophisticated, and it is easy to get caught out.

The Commonwealth Bank will come in on Thursday at 10.30 to talk to us about new threats and reinforce what they have told us previously on how to avoid being caught out.

It is extremely important that we stay abreast with all the knowledge we can get so as not to be caught up in a scam and loose thousands of dollars.

Look forward to seeing you on Thursday.

Roy
