Juniper Lifestyle Presentation
Caitlin Parker from Juniper visited us recently to give us a highly informative talk about blood pressure and the lifestyle and eating choices we can make to manage it. She produced a terrific handout card showing how to interpret the nutrition information panel on packaged food items. That’s Derek and Tony talking with Caitlin after the very well received presentation.
And the winner is…
The doll’s house raffle we held at the Hyde Park Fair has been drawn and the winner is Robin Battel (green ticket E25). Many thanks to the many people who supported the Vincent Men’s Shed by buying tickets.

Cameron and Edde and camper customisations
Cameron and Edde have been fitting out their Mitsubishi Express van for extensive travel in Australia. This has been big project involving lining the inside of the van and constructing internal furniture together with the electrical work required for their solar powered electrical system. They have departed for a three month trip. It has been great having them at the Shed.

Altered States WAFTA
Vincent Men’s Shed assisted the Western Australian Fibre and Textile Association in preparation for their “Altered States” competition display in the Perth Town Hall. The Shed cut threaded steel rods and MDF sheets to size for the display tables. Another interesting job.
