The Bingara Men’s Shed has put in countless hours to build the new Community Engagement Mini Fire Truck. This truck will be used to educate children about fire safety across the Gwydir, Moree Plains and Narrabri Shires, and will be a valuable asset for the Namoi Gwydir Community Education Team.

The Men’s Shed has been involved in a number of community projects, including work with Landcare and working closely with the Bingara Lions Club. “We have a few ongoing projects,” Men’s Shed organiser, Greg Nichols, said.
