Calling all Woodworkers. We have the Royal Show fast approaching us, and as we do every year, we would like to form a Chrissy Tree (CT) Team to construct small swivel Xmas Trees. These CT’s have been a hit every year, so we would like to exceed our previous successes. To get this underway, our CT specialist Anton Reiger will be holding a training session on Monday 16th June at 9.30 am, finishing in time for our Monday morning Devonshire teas. Anton and Steve Gerreyn will co-ordinate this project as we move forward. This will also be a particularly good project for Woodworking newbies to practice their newly learned skills and make a tree or two for your own families. Members with just a Red Dot are welcome as you can assist in the Construction. Please Click "Get a Ticket" to register for this training.

To maintain your Blue Dot Woodworking Accreditation you will need to, you will need to undertake a Verification of Competency (VOC) Assessment as follows. Woodworking members aged under 75 years will be assessed every 24 months Woodworking members aged 75 to 84 years will be assessed every 18 months Woodworking members older than 85 years  will be assessed every 12 months You will be assigned a simple task which shouldn’t take more than about 30 minutes. This is not a test of your craftsmanship; it is simply a demonstration that you can competently use the machinery unsupervised without endangering yourself or others.  You can book your VOC Assessment by clicking on your preferred VOC Assessment date below. The Rostered Supervisor for the day will oversee your assessment and he will either deem you "competent" or refer you to a Trainer for further assessment or training. If you choose not to do the VOC Assessment,  you will no longer be able to use the Machine Room equipment unsupervised.

Join everyone in our warm and cosy meeting room  for fresh baked scones, jam and cream with friendly companionship. All existing members as well as any prospective members are welcome.

We are very pleased to announce that our guest speaker for this session is Martk Khangurie, who will be discussing the field of Radiology Makhan Singh (Mark) Khangure in an Indian-born radiologist and a pioneer in the field of neuroradiology. He trained in the United Kingdom and Australia, and has been based in Perth, Western Australia, since the 1970s. Khangure was born in India and moved to England at nine years old.[1] He received an MBBS in 1971 from the University of Newcastle upon Tyne and achieved Membership of the Royal Colleges of Physicians of the United Kingdom in 1974. He began training in radiology in Newcastle in 1975, and continued his radiology training after migrating to Australia in 1976 at Royal Perth Hospital, receiving Fellowship of the Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Radiologists in 1980. From 1982, he was a consultant radiologist at Royal Perth Hospital and Sir Charles Gairdner Hospitals, where he held various roles including Director of MRI and Director of Interventional Neuroradiology.[2] He resigned from Royal Perth Hospital in 2006.[3] He has been a consultant radiologist at SKG Radiology in Perth since 2007.[2] Khangure is regarded as a pioneer of neuroradiology in Australia.[1][4] In the mid-1990s, he performed some of the earliest endovascular coiling procedures, a technique for treating bleeding brain aneurysms without surgery, and conducted clinical trials at Royal Perth Hospital.[4] He was appointed a Member of the Order of Australia (AM) in 2017.[1] This should prove to be a facinating talk from a pioneer in his field so please register with a free ticket and come along and be informed. Don't forget to stay a while after the talk to share in some Shed fellowship with drinks and nibbles available and to participate in the 2025 inititive for a Door Prize for some lucky participant which will be drawn at approximately 5:45pm

The June wine event heralds the return to one of our favourite themes - sampling Shiraz.  The duet of Chris Porter and Michael Somerville-Brown are returning by popular demand (minus Chris who will be in down South on holiday).  But before Chris departed, they pulled together an excellent range of wines (with the help of Steff at the Re Store) to demonstrate the impact climate has on the characteristics of wine made from the same grape variety.   So its up to us to show we are getting warmer rather than colder is telling the difference. There are sure to be some challenging moments as they will also be incorporating a quiz to ensure you all pay attention. As usual there will be 20 places at $25, so get in early to reserve a spot.  

Our Kitchen Team will run an 'Artisan Bread' (sourdough) baking workshop over 2 days (Tuesday arvo and Wednesday morning). You will be able to smell and sample the 'spoils' of this effort if you visit the SCMS Kitchen on Wednesday at lunchtime.
