Busy month ahead for Mate’s Shed Inglewood

-

A BRAND new rider mower will make the job easier for Inglewood Mate’s Shed members when it comes to keeping in order the extensive grounds surroundin­g the Mate’s Shed.

The group was thrilled to receive a grant from the Federal Government’s Community Volunteeri­ng Grants Program.

In keeping with the Mate’s Shed policy, the mower was sourced locally from Wilshire and Co Inglewood, which made the delivery this week.

June will be a big month for the Mate’s Shed.

On June 9 the focus will be on mental health and the CLICK ON program.

On Saturday, June 24, there will be a Monster Garage Sale in the Mate’s Shed grounds at 22 Chilcott St at 9am.

Stallholde­rs are welcome to set up a stall for no charge and there will be entertainm­ent for children.

On Wednesday, June 28, it is hoped to promote fellowship and share ideas when Inglewood members host a lunch for TOMNET Toowoomba and members of Mate’s Sheds from all nearby towns and districts.

Bingo is held at the Mate’s Shed every second and fourth Wednesday of the month and it’s gaining in popularity.

The first numbers are called at 6.30pm and the Jackpot stands at $100.

Mate’s Shed secretary and treasurer Dali Doljanin said the shed boasted an extremely well-equipped workshop where many new items were made and other items repaired for members of the community.

He said membership was open to everyone and new members were always welcome.
