Footy tipping
The AFL season starts soon so now is the time for new members to
join the fun and for existing members to reactivate their tipping
account. The tipping is run electronically, and you can register by
logging onto www.footytips.com.au and then selecting the Monash
Men’s shed as your competition. This year will see a first prize over $200
with weekly prizes as well for the lucky tipsters. You don’t need to be a footy specialist to win so
come and join us in the fun for only $20- per entry.
You need an email address to enter.

Thank you & Farewell from me. Shane Lawlor-Shed Coordinator
As you may have heard, I am finishing at the Shed on Thursday 19 March. I am leaving to work in
the mental health field, which I worked in for 25 years prior to coming here. It will be with some
sadness that I leave as I have greatly enjoyed my time at the Shed and have met many wonderful
people. The new position, however, offers security and many new challenges, and will hopefully
take me through to retirement in about 10 years’ time.
I want to sincerely thank the Monash Mens Shed and all of its members for the opportunity and
support shown me over the last few years. It really has been a great job which has provided many
highlights and fond memories. There have been many funny moments, many challenges faced, as
well as some sad times with illnesses and the passing of some much-loved members.
The most important thing I have learnt in my time at the Shed is the important role it can play in
creating purpose and keeping men connected and involved in community. This can often be
underestimated but is so important and provides benefit to the individual, their families and to
the wider community.
The Shed really is a great place and I hope that members continue to work together to keep it
going and developing over the years ahead. I would like to think and hope that it will still be here
for me when I am looking to retire.
Thank you all again.
Shane

Toolbox Folder
If you have a positive experience with a Tradie or other serive provider around the home,
this is an opportunity to share this with other members.
All you have to do is place a business card of the Tradie in the folder, which other
members can then see and make contact with the service.
It can also help if you place your name on the back of the card so other members know
who to talk to if they wish to know more.
The Tradie folder is next to the Sign In Book at the Shed.
It is very important to remember that this does not mean the Shed is recommending
anyone, and that you still need to check that they are the right person for you. It is just a
chance for members to share contacts of tradies they have had positive experiences with.
