Clifton Springs Men's Shed profiled in the Echo
Margaret Linley has written a great piece about the Clifton Springs Men's shed called "Haven for blokes" in the Echo (page 7, May 13, 2010).
"Members have varied backgrounds - there's a company director, a school teacher, long-distance driver and a farmer... the group... has a strong community reference, with the men doing ad hoc jobs as the need arises. that included recently clearing out a widow's shed, bundling up a package of mementoes for her grandson, tidying up the yard and doing some heavy-duty gardening..."
The Clifton Springs men's shed started up at the end of 2008, has a membership of 30 at present and annual fees of only $10.
Anyone interested in finding out how to join can phone Doug Doble on 5253 2530 or Bill Williams on 5253 2721
