Hi everyone, I hope you all have your eyesight back after the diamond art session today. It was wonderful to see so many ladies enjoying this activity, and hope to do it again soon. Attached are some pics from today, sorry if I didn't get a picture of your art. If you need to complete your coaster or bookmark and didn't take any diamonds with you, I will let you know when we can finish them off. Thanks to everyone of you for coming along and giving it a go, I was very proud of you all.

Good morning everyone, isn't good to see the sun for a change, hope everyone is enjoying it. You will see below what our next activity will be this coming week, diamond/dot art, turning plain boring coasters and book marks into pretty usable items. So if you are free and feel creative or just want to try it, come along this coming Wednesday 11.30am 3 June, in the Wang Wauk Room of the Library/Council Building, Lake Street, Forster (parking underneath). There will be a charge of $3 for the kit to do both items, but don't let that deter you, come and have a coffee and chat and get to know some wonderful ladies. If you can let me know that you want to participate as I only have 24 kits available. Hope to see you all very soon.

Hi, for those who attended the Meditation session on 20 May at the Shed you may be interested in the new course beginning on Thursday 11 June with Peter. If you are interested I suggest you contact Peter directly.

Date has been edited , sorry for any confusion 😊

Good morning everyone. A big thank you to everyone who attended our Meditation session conducted by Peter Morgan. It was fantastic to see so many new ladies and we hope that you found it of interest and would like to come back on Wednesday 3rd June.

In case you were interested in learning more about meditation, Peter belongs to Marpa Buddhist Centre, 218 The Lakesway, Tuncurry (opposite the High School), he runs classes on Wednesday mornings from 9am and his daughter Bess has classes on Monday evenings from 6-7.30pm. If you would like to contact Peter his email address is: [email protected].

To our new ladies, we must apologise for not spending enough time with you explaining what the Shed is all about. We are a group of ladies meeting every Wednesday fortnight during school terms at the Wang Wauk Room of the Library/Council Building from 11.30, usually for 2 hours, sometimes more, sometimes less. Our aim is to bring together women who are looking for a safe place to meet other ladies, try new activities, share a cuppa and learn something new without the big costs. Unfortunately we cannot do activities such as wood work, mechanics or anything too messy as we use the Library meeting rooms which have limitations. We are not government funded and raise funds by way of contributions from participants, which could be just a gold donation of in some cases $3-$5 for activity kits. We have 4 co-ordinators, Ingrid, Vicki, Cheryl & Penne who in the past paid out of their own pockets to provide all the equipment needed to participate in the activities, which is why we have had to ask for donations. Our usual activites are arts and crafts based and we encourage the members to present their particular interest to the other members.

The next activity we will be doing is diamond/dot art, kits will be available for $3 each and will consist of a coaster, book mark, pen, wax and tray, as well as the diamond dots.

We hope you can make it and try something you may not have done before.

Good morning lovely ladies. Just a reminder that we have a guest presenter tomorrow, Peter Morgan who has extensive knowledge in the art of Meditation. Could I please have and indication of whether you will be attending tomorrow apart from the ladies who have already said they were attending. We will be in the usual Wang Wauk Room opposite the Library, parking underneath, so don't worry about getting wet.

See you all then.🧘‍♀️
