Saturday 5 June at the Scone Bowling Club will see the final ever Virtual Shed function being held from 6:30pm for a 7:00pm start.
The Final Shed will feature Broderick Smith & Matt Taylor performing. Broderick was inducted into the ARIA Hall of Fame in 2009 as a member of “The Dingoes” – famous for their country/rock anthem “Way Out West”. Broderick has a long history as a performer and has released fifteen albums to date, nine under his own name, recording both here in Canada and the US. He has recorded with Cat Stevens, Jimmy Barnes, Steve Cropper, The Memphis Horns, Buffy Saint Marie, Ted Egan, Tommy and Phil Emmanuel. The list goes on and on.
An artist of this calibre rarely comes to Scone, so make sure you don’t miss out. Phone the Scone Neighbourhood Centre on 6545 2562 to secure your booking.
Entry is a gold coin donation and finger food/bar snacks will be provided.
After three years the funding provided by the Department of Families, Housing, Community Services and Indigenous Affairs has ended. This funding has been a huge boon to the Scone Neighbourhood Centre and the men of the Upper Hunter who have benefited from the many events, workshops and functions we have held.
Over the three years I have seen a real increase in awareness of some of the major health issues affecting men - especially men in a community that has been hit hard by drought and economic downturn.
Over three years I have seen men show an increased willingness to share the problems that affect them, take charge and seek help from the professional services on offer, gain an understanding that there is no shame in asking for help and become involved in activities that strengthen their families and communities.
We have received amazing support from many individuals, community groups, not-for-profit agencies, local, state and federal government agencies and service clubs. There are too many to name; but their support has been invaluable in making the Virtual Shed the success it has been.
This will be a men's only function - so show your support and book now!
