Barbecue boost for local group

The Lalor and District Men’s Shed can fire up the barbecue, thanks to a Community Grant they received recently.

The Lalor and District Men’s Shed recently received a community grant to support them to build a mobile barbecue trailer that they will use to raise funds for their group.

Committee member Merv Landy said the group was grateful for the grant.

“It means we will have all our barbecue equipment in the one place and we can just hook up the trailer and go,” he said.

“We were very pleased to receive a grant to allow us to build a barbecue trailer. The trailer will mean we can take to different places and events to help us raise money for our overheads.”
