Please come along for our Monthly Meeting where Merinda Willis from WA SamNet will tell us about SCAMS and provide us with some tips on how to protect ourselves, our friends and family. As we all know, ripoffs and frauds are becoming more and more commonplace and sophisticated so we all need to be more vigilant. The WA Government has developed ScamNet as one method of combatting this ever increasing problem. With many types of Scams in the Community, it can be very hard to identify what is legitimate and what is Scam. Spotting scams and learning how to protect yourself, will help you avoid losing vital personal information and money.  WAScamnet has also provided us with the latest information about the recent Optus data breach.  You can check this out by clicking HERE. Partners are welcome to attend his Important Presentation, but get in quick as we have a maximum of 50 attendees. The Presentation will be followed by our Sundowner, with some some tasty morsels from our kitchen and an assortment of drinks for sale as normal. Please note that this Presentation will commence at 4pm.

You literally are what you eat! Don’t turn into a lettuce…   Many of the chronic diseases we’re all trying to avoid, such as heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and some cancers are influenced by what we eat. Therefore, it comes as no surprise that the theme for this year’s Veteran’s Health Week is ‘Eating well’.   To commemorate this year’s Veterans Health Week, and to support the health and wellbeing of veterans, Showgrounds Community Men’s Shed have invited Nick Nation, Accredited Practicing Dietitian to share his no-nonsense food and cooking approach for men.   Come along, get your hands dirty, hang out with other guys and enjoy a free lunch that you will help prepare yourself!    

CONFIRMED - Wine Appreciation meeting - Tuesday 18th October.  With over10 confirmed attendees for the Wine Appreciation Group meeting, it  will definitely go ahead as schediuled starting at 4.30pm on Tuesday 18th October.   Guests are now welcome, so please feel free to purchase a ticket for them in the next few days.    The theme and number of wines to be tasted will be a surprise.

Who doesn't love Tacos? Anybody who ever ventured to a Mexican foodstall (of the Texan variety!) will have enjoyed some crispy or soft Tacos with a tasty filling and a perky sauce. Today you can eat some at the Showgrounds Community Men's Shed where chef Peter McGregor will be cooking up a storm. Expect red kidney beans and fresh coriander in his home-made meat sauce with a spicy salsa for those who like their Tacos hot! Cost for food will be $15 with beer, wine and soft drinks at standard prices.  As usual, we require pre-payment with your registration.  You will be able to get a credit towards a future event if you cancel at least 1 day before this luncheon. No-shows on the day will forfeit their ticket fee. Members who intend to use a credit carried over from a previous event, please reply to this email and we will book you in.  Please register early to avoid the disappointment of missing this special occasion as the lunch room capacity is strictly limited.  We hope you will join us!
