Susan Bissinger: THE MENS SHED QUESTIONNAIRE
With the reduction in the impact of COVID19 on our face to face programs, some sense of normality has returned to PNMSA activities at the Hangar, the Shed, the Help a Mate program, projects and social events. Significant results over the past 12 months include the following:-
Thank you to everyone who has contributed to assisting with these matters during 2022, and we look forward to that input continuing in 2023. In addition, any members who would be interested in joining the Welfare and Safety Sub-Committee in 2023 please contact one of our members.
November 2020: This is a reminder to members that in accordance with the current government requirements we are required to gather contact details of everyone who visits the premises for longer than 15 minutes. In order to streamline this process and reduce the risk of cross-contamination, we have implemented a QR code scanning system to help gather and manage everyone’s contact information.
It’s a simple 4-step process and you can do it all on your phone. All you need to do is follow the instructions below.
There will be signage at all entry points with the scannable QR code, along with step-by-step instructions on how to complete the process and, as always, all staff will be more than happy to assist you if required.

June 2020: Recommending we all install, and keep active, the COVID SAFE app.
Returning to the Shed: A review of the easing of restrictions was done and recommendations made re an organised return to the Shed. Still concerns over managing the numbers at our regular meetings and the Friday social gatherings. Graham and John have extended their involvement to be “Hygiene Officers” – a “must-do” role for all Men’s Sheds. Recommendations have been discussed and a report submitted to the Leadership Group to read and approve. Once approved, this will be circulated to the members.
Actions already taken include:
June 19th 2020: In reviewing the easing of restrictions, we are taking an organised and cautious return to the Shed. Our Welfare Officers have gone through a mountain of Government and Shire requirements and are looking to make some recommendations for returning.
Several of the small group activities/meetings have been happening, where member numbers participating has been within the guidelines. We are again looking for these groups to recognise responsibilities expected from any group.
Recommending we all install the COVID SAFE app.
Machine and all you need accessories on offer for $100.
Derek Ryan has donated this machine as part of the fundraising for the Kitchen Upgrade. Available now from the Hangar.
Some Review Comments off the Internet:
this machine has given me endless cups of coffee, is always ready, easy to clean, all you need is water and your favorite coffee beans, and all at a press of a button. The filter is easy to manage, the cleaning and changing of degrader is easy, just wash under the tap.
Has been a dream to own. We have it set to come on at 5.50am every morning and it’s rinsed and warmed & ready to go when get to the kitchen for breakfast. We have used it day in day out for 5 years making a minimum of 4 coffees every morning, many more on weekends, and it’s been great. We take our coffee black, and it produces a smooth strong coffee with great creama, that is far more consistent than many cafes. Also pretty good for steaming milk to make hot chocolates for our daughter.
reliable, easy to use, makes beautiful quality coffees.

Why did we change to the WordPress website option?
It was proposed that the 10 existing Men’s Sheds on the Mornington Peninsula look at a common website format and service provider. A local option has been identified using WordPress for development.
With the help of the Mornington Men’s Shed, we have created our own copy, including this Members Only section.
This website was deemed to be far more cost-effective than continuing with the WIX option for the low level of access we had noted for the site.
Note: As of July 2023, Point Nepean, Westernport and Mornington Mens Sheds remain the active users of the arrangement. It is still a cost-effective option for the PNMSA.
