Tweed Heads Community Men's Shed News

The Men’s Shed Bus Tour to the Ballina Naval and Maritime Museum has been cancelled due to a change in pricing from the bus company. Unfortunately, the new cost is outside our budget, so we will need to make alternative arrangements. We will keep you posted about our next outing.

On Tuesday, Les, Bob and I will be travelling to Brisbane to attend some of the events at the 11th National Men's Shed Gathering. Hopefully we can bring back some good ideas, interesting information, and a few good photos as well.

We have been approached by the Justice Advocacy Service (JAS) with the following request.

The Justice Advocacy Service supports people who have cognitive impairments within the NSW legal system. It is a statewide service operating across New South Wales.

They rely heavily on volunteers to provide important support to clients in courts and police stations. In fact, about half of their statewide support services are delivered by volunteers. This means that with volunteer help they can reach many more people in the community who need assistance.

They are currently looking for volunteers in our area. In other regions, some volunteers are members of Men’s Sheds, and they suggested contacting our Shed to see if members might be interested.

If there is enough interest, they would also be happy to visit the Shed and give a short talk about their organisation.

More information:

We are now finalising our membership records in the database. If you or someone you know still wishes to be a member this year, please contact Bob or Les.

Membership fees can be paid:
• Cash
• Card online
• Square at the Shed

Please note that Square payments incur a 1.6% fee (about $0.80).

If you need the bank details, please ask Bob, Robyn or myself.
If paying online, please use “Membership” as the reference.

Thank you.

This is a dark, tense short story with a strong opening and effective dialogue that quickly builds suspense. The twist at the end is satisfying and adds irony, though the narrator’s justification feels intentionally unsettling. Overall, it’s a sharp, grim vignette about revenge and moral hypocrisy.

That’s all for this week.

Have a great weekend.
