New ramp for St Pauls
The St. Paul’s Cathedral commissioned the Rocky Men’s Shed to construct a ramp for the side entrance to the cathedral and with the supply of material from InfoBuild we were able to construct the ramp shown below. With the Utility supplied by our shirt sponsor GladRock Transport we were able to deliver it. The ramp will be used to allow those of us who are less mobile to access the cathedral on those days of worship when they attend the cathedral
The Art Studio takes shape
Over the weekend of 9th & 10th of July we were able to take the first steps in getting the art studio to start to take its first steps to start to look what it is supposed to look like look out for our next post on the Art Studio where we will be able to see paintings on the feature wall that is blank now. 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.
The fit out continues
This week saw the fit out of the Shower / Toilet as well as the Ladies Auxiliary Storeroom progress a little further with the plumbing being passed by Council thanks to the help of Reg and our band of merry men who are helping to bring this to a conclusion

This has been well managed by our Treasurer. It has been no mean feet putting this all together, I can tell you as she has had many a sleepless night trying to figure out how to juggle the finances.. Ron Wouda has put his thinking cap on working out how to put the 2 kitchens together from the drawing’s that Stuart Hibbert has put together. This has been a well organized team effort by all concerned. ad Les brooks is working on our sign for the front of the building’s and has come up with a further sign that would keep everyone in the loop as to what is going on in the 3 sheds. I have some ideas for the main board for our at the front also, all these will start to come more identifiable in the coming months. We are now starting to clear our old shed out and hope to complete this by the end of July. Our thoughts are also with our members who have experienced stints in hospital Paul Clare & Kevin Cotter get well soon guys.
