Supporting Local Men

Federal Member for Parkes Mark Coulton called into Cobar last week as part of his travels around the electorate. Mr Coulton visited the Copper City Men’s Shed to
inspect a recently installed heavy duty timber band saw (valued at $3,000) which was purchased with Federal Government funding. “I’ve long been a proud supporter of the Men’s Shed movement because Sheds play a vital role supporting the health and wellbeing of men in my electorate,” Mr Coulton said. “In many parts of the bush,
local Men’s Sheds are fast becoming one of the most important groups – one where members make important social connections and serve their community.” Mr Coulton (second from right) is pictured above with Copper City Men’s Shed members Geoff Little, Harry Cox and shed coordinator Gordon Hill. ▪ Photo contributed
