Rye Pier Benches:
Parks Victoria has delivered 40 boards from the old pier to the Stringer Reserve. Thank you to the guys who pitched in to unload and stack the timber at Stringer Reserve. It really was a case of many hands made light work on the day. 

Spirit of Sorrento Masterchefs Luncheon: 
Our Shed supported the MasterChef lunch at the Portsea Children’s Camp on the Queen’s Birthday weekend.
The event was very successful and congratulations goes to the Spirit of Sorrento group which includes the Pt. Nepean Men’s Shed.  Six of the MasterChef’s of Sorrento each provided a course.  Here is a photo of the PNMS Table and the set-up team.

Member Luncheon (Lino and Warren):
Warren: An enjoyable wine tasting and winter lunch at Italico. Portsea Estate provided a wide range of very nice wines on arrival, then Italico served a range of share platters. An extremely nice way to spend a winter’s day.

Lino: Will and Matt from Portsea Estate were very informative about the wines from Portsea and some Redhill vines they’re using. We sampled Champagne, Pinot Gris, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Shiraz – all just superb! Several of our Members ordered some wines and joined the Portsea Estate wine club. Matt generously donated 48 good quality wine glasses to us and they are now at the Hangar. 
For the lunch, Itali.Co served 3 shared Entrees and 3 shared Mains.
All excellent quality and no one went home hungry: 
excellent value at $35/head.
