PRESIDENT NOTES
Many thanks to all Members who have supported me this year in any way, we have had an issue
recently in relation to New Membership and we are happy now that we have a policy in place to
deal with any situation. The Awning day was a big success and now behind us so thanks also to
those who assisted on the day. Our recent BBQ at Bunning’s was most successful and thanks to
BBQ Bob for all his efforts.
The new Shade sail is up thanks to Ian Ross and his helpers.
New Hope Group have donated $1000 towards a “Safety Awareness when using machinery”
Seminar to be held in July 2015 and thanks to Neville Winks for his assistance for this donation.
Bob Edyvean recently represented the shed at the Buderim Men’s Shed expo and gave a report
at a smoke meeting this week, Bob presented The Buderim Shed with a painted saw blade and
it was most appreciated.
We are looking forward to our Anzac participation this 25 th April , we will be required to start
cooking at around 3.30 am-4am and anyone wanting to March will be able too. We are ordering
a wreath for laying on the day.
Remember if you want to get involved with the Management team for 2015-16 July 2 AGM
please indicate to me ASAP. We will have executive job descriptions on the notice board soon.
We also will be placing minutes of monthly meetings and Financial reports for all to see on the
notice board from now on.
Thanks to Dave and Ron Bopf for arranging the Bowls night recently
Our web site is now up and live so have a look : ipswichmensshed.org.au

Seniors Week 2015 – August 15-23
It’s on for young & old
Seniors Week is an opportunity for Queenslanders of all ages to join together and celebrate the valuable
contribution of older people. Seniors Week 2014 saw communities come together to celebrate with 456
registered events throughout the state. Many older people assist their families with caring responsibilities
whilst being actively involved in their communities through volunteering and passing on their knowledge and
experience to others. Seniors Week provides an opportunity to bring together all Queenslanders, through
events and activities, to celebrate the contributions seniors make within their communities.
Seniors Week aims to:


improve community attitudes towards older people and ageing
facilitate community participation and activity by older people, including those from Indigenous and culturally and
linguistically diverse backgrounds
 enhance community connections and inter-generational relationships.
Council on the Ageing (COTA) Queensland currently coordinates Seniors Week and receives Queensland
Government funding to collaboratively plan, run and subsidise Seniors Week events and activities. Planning is
already under way for 2015 with subsidies opening in February and closing 27 March. We look forward to
working with you in making Seniors Week 2015 an even bigger success.
NORM AWAITS HIS DAY ON 25TH APRIL
On behalf of our Organising Committee, I look forward to welcoming you to the Australian Men's
Shed Association 6th National Conference, being held at Newcastle Civic Precinct, New South
Wales.
The Conference aims to promote the spread of Sheds throughout the nation and showcase the
Australian Men's Shed movement across the world.
This years theme “Innovation” will examine what sheds do on a day to day basis and focus on
their future growth and development, whilst at the same time tackling the bigger picture issues
such as the prevention of social isolation and engaging men within the community.

DEAD MAN’S PENNY
Memorial Plaque
The round bronze Memorial Plaque is 120mm in diameter. It shows Britannia and a lion on the front and bears
the inscription: "He died for freedom and honour". The full name of the dead soldier is engraved on the right
hand side of the plaque. No rank, unit or decorations are shown, befitting the equality of the sacrifice made
by all casualties.
The shape and appearance of the plaque earned it nicknames such as the "Dead Man's Penny", the "Death
Penny", and the "Widow's Penny". Warren is currently using the lathe to mount four of these Plaques for
Anzac day
