16th August 2023 AMSA Big Breakfast
The Safety Beach Dromana Men’s Shed were asked to host the Big Breakfast on 23rd August 2023. This marks the 30th anniversary of Men’s Sheds in Australia.
As we hosted the Big Breakfast very successfully in 2018 and 2019 at our shed, it was no suprise to be asked again to host the event this year.
There are 26 displays taking place mainly outside and 2 displays inside the shed.
An article was written promoting this event that appeared in the Southern Peninsula News on Wednesday 16th August 2023. See below.
