North Lakes Men's Group

Eleven of the men from the North Lakes Mens Group gathered early in the morning at the San Remo Neighbourhood Centre, loaded themselves onto "Sluggo" and travelled down to join the Kincumber Men's Shed anniversary.Seen here are Richard Huston, John Finlater, Tom deLauney and Rob Giles enjoying the BBQ cooked up by Joe Homer and Tom vanDam from Kincumber.

The NLMG guys eagerly sought information from the established Kincumber Shed as they are embarking on setting up a shed in the near future. No-one minded the ribbing about being "shedless" when there was so much to learn about an established operation.
