The annual BBQ will be held at Dru Point Bicentennial Park at 3PM on Friday 18th of December.
We do need a list of all attendees to fulfil our COVID tracking obligation and for catering arrangements. Email RSVP to the secretary at the Channel Men’s Shed by 10th December.
BBQ Invitation
With the holiday season coming up I shall try to be as brief as I can. (Apropos of holidays, it looks like the Shed will close from Monday 21 December and reopening Monday 4 January)
Christmas Party invitation
The organisation of a Christmas function, compliant with COVID Safety requirements, has proved tricky, however we believe that we have it right at last. A more formal invitation will issue shortly but keep December 18 free and expect a small raffle to be drawn at the event. Ticket sales will be on the day and, as usual, prizes are significant. See you at Dru Point.
Central City Community Shed
Hobart is the only Australian capital city without a dedicated Community Shed. Your Shed has been supporting Peter Shelley who has been working to prepare the ground (almost literally –a site has been identified and quote obtained for building construction) for the formation of a steering committee.
$1,000 donation to KHH
The impact of COVID on the work of Kingborough Helping Hands has been considerable and, as part of our ongoing Community Outreach Program, your Shed has donated $1,000 in support of this valuable community resource. We have also called for volunteers to assist with the delivery of Christmas Hampers and Presents on 16 and 17 December.
Revision to CMS COVID Safety Plan
Following recent announcements, our Safety Plan has now been revised (again) to allow 40 members in the Shed at the one time. Sadly, not really enough to hold a regular social function, hence the planning for a somewhat reduced Christmas Celebration at Dru Point.
In light of recent changes from the government, a review of our CMS Plan was completed and the Members COVID-19 Manual updated. Refer to the COVID-19 documents page here for the latest.
