Working With Winchelsea (WWW) is proud to come on board as the newest auspice group of Winchelsea Community House. Working collaboratively with Community groups and organi-sations to make Winchelsea a better place to live, the WWW group have some exciting projects in place which include the production of a Community Directory, which lists all the Groups and Businesses within the town. The Group has established and supports the Winchelsea Primary School Mentor Program, helping to provide an-other level of support to Grade 6 students transitioning to Year 7. They have established the very successful “Bus to the Hub” program, which, along with other Community partners, runs every Thursday night and serves as a social event for those who are, for various reasons, unable to venture out

in the evenings. We are currently involved with “ Winch Rocks the Quarry” to be held in February. Our partner in this is the Winchelsea Golf Club. This event is being planned as a Family Fun Day at the Golf Club. WWW are currently developing their own website to help keep the Community in touch with the progress of their pro-jects. If you have any suggestions, enquiries or have any brilliant ideas for projects to benefit Winchelsea, we invite you to con-tact the WWW at workingwithwinchelsea@gmail.com

The Wensleydale Rural Community Group participated in the national Garage Sale Trail on Saturday 26th October. The group sale was held at the Wurdale Hall, Winchelsea South. The aim of the Garage Sale Trail is to hold garage sales nationally on the one day and promote re‐use, reduce waste to landfill and connect com-munities. A variety of items were for sale in-cluding furniture, jewellery, clothing, fresh flowers, bric-a- brac and other household goods. Thanks to all the buyers and sellers who participated on the day!

The Winchelsea Men’s Shed — by David Kellas The Winchelsea Men’s Shed is a community facility where men choose

to meet, socialise, work on Community Projects and operate fundrais-

ing events within our town. We are a no profit organisation, auspice

under Winch House and are proud to say that we are Drug and Alcohol

free, non discriminatory and welcome new members. Our members

meet at the shed at 51 Hesse Street every Wednesday at 10am and

every second Saturday morning.

Thanks to counsellor Rod Nockles and his crew we now have the avail-

ability of the ‘Do Care Bus’ one day per month. So our members have

been enjoying bus trips to Ballarat, Melbourne and last week, a fishing

trip in Queenscliff. So there are more exciting things happening in

the Men’s Shed than workshop projects and fundraising!!

This year has been successful for us all, at the Men’s Shed, with lots

of projects completed within our Community, and we feel

proud that we have the support of the residents in

Winchelsea and district.

Next Years Calender is filling up nicely, with bus trips

organised, sausage sizzles, social events, garage

sales, and projects to benefit the whole

Winchelsea Community.
