MEN’S shed activities in Pyramid Hill could be based in a new home if talks are successful.
The group reformed two years ago and is now hoping to be based in the town’s former Scout hall that was used as a meeting room for Ambulance Victoria CERT members until the service disbanded last December.
John Forster was last week elected president of the men’s shed, succeeding Trevor McIntosh who had been instrumental in bringing the shed back to life and continues on the executive as vice-president.
Members are currently raising funds with the sale of fire kindling.
“People were looking for kindling in winter and we had lots of timber scraps around,” said secretary Matt Down. “It’s helped us have a clean up and also provides a handy fire-starter for residents.”
