men’s shed
The Holian reunion Men’s Shed going strong The Yarrawonga Mulwala Men’s Shed is going from strength to strength with a number of projects and activities involving men at the Men’s Shed .
Betty Holian cuts the cake.
A recent decision to extend our days open to Monday 9-12, Wednesday 9-4 and Friday 9-12 is the result of an increase in demand by members. An increase in community projects, such as refurbishment of chairs and furniture for the MHA Opportunity Shop, reinstatement of outdoor furniture at Pistol’s Tavern, making of rocking horses, plus a trial E-Waste project with Moira Shire involving dismantling of computers, VCRs and printers. The response for the E-Waste has been taken up by four members with enthusiasm. In conjunction with the Yarrawonga Chamber of Commerce, the Men’s Shed has assisted with the Farmer’s Market, The Foreshore Christmas, and
Direct descendants of Matthew Tabulo and Margaret Holian celebrated 170 years in Australia and over 130 years in NE Victoria last weekend. They came together at ClubMulwala and also at Devenish. Pictured are Catherine Walsh, Terry Marshall, Peter Tabulo, Keith Tabulo, Anne Thorgood and Mary Louise Walsh. lodge
Masonic Musings Nero fiddled while Rome burned but Drake played the ancient game of bowls as the Spanish armada sailed for England in 1588.
Drake was smart. Lawn bowls is well known as a game of skill, a game with a strict code of conduct and for generations
deemed the sole perogative of the elderly male. Times change. The Australian Ladies Champion bowler this year is a 17 year old girl. Drake would have shuddered. And where a strict dress code once meant that all bowlers were clad in white, today they show up in all the colours
of the rainbow, but still enforce the wearing of only their club’s chosen colours. Individual selections are not permitted. The young bowler of today is welcomed by the senior players and coaching clinics for local school children are made available if so desired. Yarrawonga Mulwala
Sale on Belmore Street. With the Yarrawonga Lions Club, Men’s Shed assists with the sausage sizzle outside Permewans. There are currently 60 men on our books however, not everyone comes along each week; it is not compulsory to attend every day and new members are most welcome. There are a number of men from Woods Point Age Care facility attending each Friday. Yarrawonga Mulwala Men’s Shed has been successful in obtaining a number of grants, enabling the Men’s Shed to purchase new equipment and tools, thanks to Australian Men’s Shed Association, Moira Shire Council, Yarrawonga Mulwala Rotary Club and Yarrawonga Holiday Park. There are currently five other applications still pending. A number of members are to undergo L2 First Aid training to be conducted shortly, with currently one member fully qualified
attending, and members have addressed the Lions Club, Rotary Club and Men’s Probus. The Men’s Shed thanks the assistance of the Yarrawonga Rowing Club for the use of the club as a temporary location. The major item on the agenda is for a purpose built Men’s Shed of a 500sm workshop connected to a community shared meeting room, kitchen and toilets. However finding a suitable location within Yarrawonga is a major future issue. It is unknown how long the Men’s Shed will be located at the Rowing Club. There have been discussions with Councillor Rob Chuck from Moira Shire Council hoping to address this issue and discussions will continue. Those interested in joining or wishing to visit the Men’s Shed are most welcome to come along. Further information and details contact John Shorten on 5744 1840 or 0438 533 289.
Moira Shire Councillor Rob Chuck and Yarrawonga Mulwala Men’s Shed president John Shorten with Men’s Shed members at the current venue, the Yarrawonga Rowing Club. is well catered for in all aspects of the game which is normally played during the warmer months of the year (in the winter a migration to Queensland is the norm). However, the Yarrawonga Bowling Club has a synthetic lawn which can be played upon the year round. All three local bowls clubs welcome newcomers, particularly young learners. Fred Wolfe is an accredited coach with the Mulwala Services Club Bowling Club. Coaching
is not confined to young people; any player wishing to improve his or her skills can benefit by a bit of coaching. Assistant Director of Ceremonies of the Yarrawonga Lodge of St David, Fred Wolfe is also a volunteer driver for the Yarrawonga District Health Service. His many years as a hospital employee has given him a clearer insight into the welfare of the sick and disabled; this he puts to good use. His 34 years in Freemasonry has also
given him an insight into the ways of his fellow creatures. Good citizen, nice bloke. Pity he doesn’t play golf. Fred is not the only lawn bowler amongst the ranks of Lodge 103. Ern Ives is passionate about the sport and Ray Irvine and Doug McTier are keen players. But bowlers beware; Joe Tierney is threatening to leave golf and take up bowling, presumably because he hasn’t had a hole-in-one since 22nd March this
year. Poor old Joe! As in all organisations, sporting or fraternal, membership is their life-blood. In this regard the Yarrawonga Lodge of St David has recently appointed a Membership Committee consisting of Barry Cocks (5743 2892) Les Fraser (5743 1341) and Nigel Holloway (5743 2652). Any of those three will be happy to deal with any enquiries, membership or general. Cheers, Stan Clarke WM103.
