Honour Board Gets New Life Thanks to The Shed

When the Kensington Marryatville Bowling Club approached the Shed on Conygnham Street with an unusual request, our members were more than happy to help. The club, currently undergoing an upgrade, is digitising many of its honour boards - and wanted to repurpose one of the originals into something practical. The result? A handcrafted tea trolley built by one of our very own Shed members, Barry.

Barry took on the project with care and creativity, turning the old board into a unique and functional piece that pays tribute to the club’s history.

This project is just one example of how the Shed and the City of Burnside support community and sporting groups, combining practical skills with community spirit - while giving a second life to objects that still have a story to tell.

A no obligation community centre developed for those over 65 and living in the eastern regions, The Shed is a space for men and women to come and work on projects or just spend time with others who have similar life experience. An asset of the City of Burnside, The Shed programs are funded by the Commonwealth Home Support Program (CHSP) to provide subsidised low level support services and programs.

The Shed’s Men’s Program runs Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday while the Women’s Program is run Thursday mornings with mixed gender in the afternoon.
