There was a meeting last week involving interested residents of Roleystone (Perth WA), the council and Bendigo Bank.
I wasnt able to attend but the report I had from a friend who did was encouraging.
We may have a patch of land in the offing and a proposal that we approuch the Education dept about some land at the old primary school which is being moved.
In the meantime the Men's nights in my shed are continuing on a monthly basis and the next will hopefully feature a chap Ive just met who has a foundry in his back garden. He lives 3 doors away. :2tsup:
These nights are more social and for encouragement rather than specific projects, however we now have a major restoration project in the form of a horizontal bandsaw that needs total rebuild.
Ive discovered that acme threaded rod and matching nuts are dammed expensive:doh: and quite hard to locate. Hopefully that will be the only major expense.
