RIP Roger Pound
In Remembrance of one of our founding members Roger Pound who passed away on Saturday 24th September 2022 Roger was a founding member of The Rockhampton Men’s Shed Inc. and was instrumental in moving the motion to close down the original organization The National Union of Retired Workers Inc. transferring the assets and funds from that association to the Rockhampton Men’s Shed Inc. this was supported by all the members of the shed. Roger was also part of a group of members who did all the internal construction in the original shed at Wandal. His efforts there were undaunting in his efforts to make sure that shed was something to be proud of. You will always be remembered Roger by those of us who knew you and had the pleasure of your company in the early days when we were younger.

All it needs now is the electricity to be hooked up is we are able to in some way get the funding for this to be completed we will then be able to move ahead with the Gym, Office and store room. Then we will move on the Community Center where Ron is putting the kitchenet together.
