Since early October 2013 the group has been operating each Friday out of their home in Cypress Drive at Braeside Park, Lower Dandenong Road, Braeside. There are two sheds that the group has renovated and set up as a workshop and amenities space now that the lease from Parks Victoria has been finalised.

Our first AGM was held on Thursday 20th February 2014 at the shed in Braeside Park. The president and treasurer reports were given and the new committee for 2014 was elected. Acknowledgements were also given to those who managed to achieve so much in our first year.
