29th July Make A Difference Donation
Recently Cyclone Industries made a donation of different tools to our shed. We used a few garden tools to help maintain the Mini Golf area with the remainder of multiple garden tools being donated to Make A Difference Dingley Village.
They are a Non For Profit organisation that helps with basic food relief services to the local community. We have a very good working relationship with Make A Difference in that we have helped them build garden beds and other tasks over many years.

9th July First Aid Officers
Members of the shed have just completed a comprehensive First Aid Course which includes Provide First Aid, Provide basic emergency life support and Provide cardiopulmonary resuscitation.
With so many members attending the shed during the week, it is good to have members available to help a distressed member if required.

It is with sad news that John Bach passed away yesterday after a short illness. John was a life member and past president for many years, has been a huge contributor not only helping around the shed, but performed ALL the electrical work within all of the buildings. John was a very active member of the shed as was still on the committee. RIP John.
6th April The Green Shed Award by AMSA
Dingley Village Men’s Shed has transformed thousands of discarded plastic milk bottles into durable community products such as garden stakes, benches and planter boxes. Through ingenuity and persistence, members designed and built their own recycling machinery, proving that practical innovation can turn waste into long-lasting resources.
