May Employee of the Month – Lachy 🥳

Every workplace has that moment when a piece of machinery refuses to cooperate and a small crowd gathers around offering theories. It's a tradition almost as old as machinery itself.

Lachy has increasingly become the person who steps into those moments with patience, persistence and practical know how. Over the past year, his skills and confidence have grown remarkably, turning challenges into opportunities to learn and lead.

Lachy is Part of the Garden and maintenance Team and also the Volunteer Crew Team Leader. Lachy has become one of the most reliable people in the workshop! Consistent, self-reliant and dependable, he's the person you can count on to see a task through from start to finish.

His skills have grown enormously over the past year. In fact, when one of our Victa mowers developed a problem that left staff scratching their heads, Lachy rolled up his sleeves, worked through the issue and found the solution. It was a reminder that problem solving doesn't always come from the person holding the clipboard!

Part of that growth has come from working closely alongside Emmanuel, the recipient of our 2025 Leadership Mentor Award. The pair have formed a strong partnership, with Emmanuel sharing knowledge and encouragement and Lachy taking every opportunity to learn, develop and put those lessons into practice

What stands out most, though, isn't just the skills. It's the attitude. The quiet confidence. The willingness to help. The steady smile that suggests everything will work out just fine 🌟

Congratulations Lachy on being named our May Employee of the Month. It's thoroughly deserved and we're proud to have you as part of the team 👏

Biggest Morning Tea @ Ettalong Diggers

For weeks, our Lasercraft crew, alongside the indefatigable Garden and Maintenance team, have been operating with the sort of industrious energy that would make an ant colony look leisurely.

This wasn’t simply a matter of preparing stock for a market stall. It was craftsmanship with pride stitched into every corner. Candles poured with care, soaps and hand scrubs made by hand and trays of seedlings nurtured patiently into life. Every item on that table carried the fingerprints of hard work, growing skills, patience and a fair bit of soul.

And then there was the team itself, standing proudly beside the banner like seasoned market veterans. The smiles said everything. This wasn’t just a stall. It was a showcase of confidence, teamwork and the very best of what Lasercraft represents.

A huge thank you to everyone who stopped by for a chat, picked up a treat, supported our creators and helped raise vital funds for Cancer Council NSW. Community spirit was alive and well.

A big shout-out to Ettalong Diggers and the Cancer Council for hosting this important event.

Anchors aweigh!

The Lasercraft Community Access crew plotted a course south with Lachy at the helm, storm clouds brewing lazily in the distance, Sydney waiting ahead like an old harbour town with stories to tell. They were ready to batten down the hatches if need be, to honour seafaring traditions.

A 17th-century ship, a destroyer, and even a submarine were all boarded and explored from bow to stern.

Then came Emmanuel and the captain’s hat.

He was not so much wearing it as inheriting command from it. One moment he was browsing exhibits; the next, he looked ready to steer the fleet through rough seas and questionable weather. Quiet authority. Calm confidence. It was the kind of presence that makes everyone instinctively stand a little straighter and check where north is.

Meanwhile, out on deck, Shah delivered the cinematic moment of the day. Arms stretched wide against the harbour skyline, he fully embraced a “King of the World” pose with enough commitment to make nearby tourists glance around for a hidden film crew.

And speaking of survival, by midday the stomachs staged a mutiny.
The crew answered the call with an alfresco feast at Darling Harbour, raiding Guzman y Gomez and Betty’s Burgers like seasoned sailors returning from months at sea. Chips disappeared at alarming speed, conversations bounced between laughs and stories and the afternoon drifted along as comfortably as the harbour tide itself.

The harbour had worn a grey coat and sulked all day, but at least it hadn't poured. It held off its tantrum for the drive home as the ever-dependable Lachy steered the bus back to base.

It might have been grey, but it was a wonderful day of camaraderie, culture, captaincy, and community.

Woy Woy Leisure Centre to the Ocean Beach Hotel
So good they named it twice, this reappears as a destination of choice once again. First stop, the leisure centre on Blackwall Road. The crew, 16 strong... “That’s a full squad.” Two buses were needed to contain this excitement. Everyone organised, towels and change of clothes packed and ready.

Bombs away and gentle ease-ins were the way to tackle entry.
“Who’s going on the slide?” shortly followed. Old-timer Maxy, winding back the clock and leading from the front and up the stairs they followed. All for one and one for all was the motto for the day. Knees knocking and excitement growing and then whoosh, down they went, one by one like a scene from Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom.

Hands stands were performed by Evie and Larry's lap times were comparable to the Thorpedo. It was at this moment the team noticed the hydro pool feeling lonely and in need of cheering up. Bubbles, warmth, and the feeling of being a Roman god for 20 minutes.

Hunger was setting in and it was time to head to the Ocean Beach Hotel. Footy on the big screens, live music and a pool table were noticed by every member of the crew. Scanning the menu vigorously as tummies grumbled. Meals would arrive one by one from the kitchen. These were interstate-trucker-sized portions and exactly what the doctor ordered.

It’s one thing to go to the pool or pub, but when you get to go with a bunch of friends, it pairs activities with camaraderie to create lasting memories.

Blowing off Steam at Narara

When you think of mini trains, my mind goes to electric models and plastic trees, but at the Narara Steam Model Co-op, they really mean steam, the type of steam that you’d see coming from old Puffing Billy. Fuelled by coal and the passion of train enthusiasts, water boils and creates pressure just like a full-size choo choo.

"All aboard" is less step on, and more straddle the sheep-sized carriage.

"Tickets please!" Old-school pricing system still in play, no tyre inflation needed, and entry is free. Two bucks fifty a ride, the crew thought at that price they’d get a return ticket.

Arms held at right angles, fists up, and a fierce yank of that cord, “Honk… honk…” and “Toot… toot…” and they were off.

Anyone for lunch and healthy competition?

Homemade pizzas back at LC station would fill the hole from the sheep straddling. LC carpark turned into Madison Square Garden with some one-on-one bball action, with its fair share of fadeaways and half-court attempts.

All in all, another successful Central Coast outing.
Good old-fashioned value, external combustion engines, pizzas made with love, with a pinch of friendly rivalry.

Thumbs up all round!

April’s Employee of the Month comes to us courtesy of consistent hard work and quiet focus… The Flaming Mullet. Business up front and bush party out the back, worn with pride usually reserved for premiership rings.

Out in the gardens, Shane operates like a well-oiled tractor… steady, reliable and not particularly interested in fuss. Give him a brief and he’s off, no detours, no dramas, just neat lines and a job done properly. The kind of worker every team quietly hopes to clone.

Off the tools, Shane loves both styles of music, Country and Western. Not just a listener either… a player. And when it comes to footy loyalty, Shane has solved the age-old dilemma by backing both the Tigers and the Rabbitohs… even going so far as to own the split jersey. Diplomacy, stitched in cotton.

Congratulations Shane… mowing lawns, strumming tunes and flying the flag for the iconic mullet.

Nearly 40 years ago, Lasercraft began with corporate awards… and it’s always been about supported employment.

That part hasn’t changed.

What has changed is the scale, the polish, the craftsmanship. Every award that leaves our workshop still carries two stories. One you see on the stage… and one you don’t. The opportunity it creates. The confidence it builds. The meaningful work behind every piece.

Australian-made. Charity-powered. Purpose, from day one.

If you know a business planning an awards night or recognition event… feel free to pass us on. A simple share goes a long way.

Woy Woy Leisure Centre, Andrew stood at the top, weighed his options and chose the stairs. Sensible. Strategic. A retreat with dignity.

This week… different script.

The slide waited. Andrew took a breath, made the call and launched. Down he went… gravity doing its part, courage doing the rest.

At the bottom, after a celebration that would’ve impressed a grand final crowd came the line of the day… “I want to go again.”

And then there was Dave. Dave, the man, the myth the marinade. A support staff legend who took to the slide like an old-fashioned communications device… message sent loud and clear: you’ve got this. What followed was a shared celebration, equal parts triumph and teamwork, exactly how these moments should end.

Progress isn’t always loud. Sometimes it looks like one brave decision a quick slide and the confidence to climb back up for more.

Woy Woy to the Davo

Saturday 11th April saw a crew of 9 participants and 4 support legends roll into Woy Woy… a place so good they named it twice. Though, if you ask the traditional custodians, it leans more toward “deep water”… which feels about right once you see the views.

Next stop, ferry life. Smooth sailing across to Davistown… wind in the hair, spirits high and not a worry in sight.
Lunch had a postcode at Davistown RSL Club… where pizzas landed, rump steaks and nachos didn’t last long and the table talk was as full as the plates.

Meanwhile…

Ray and Shah turned the snooker table into centre stage… a contest of nerves, angles and the occasional “lucky” shot. Outside, the Davo Club bowlers rolled with laser focus… drawing a quiet crowd of LC Crew viewers who knew they were watching something special. Schooners in hand of course when you're by the seaside.

Just as we lined up to head home, the universe had one more play… Tracy’s birthday. Cue the choir. A full ferry singalong that would’ve made any talent show judge lean forward.

A big thank you to the team at the Davo for the warm welcome and top-notch feed… and a shoutout to our support crew, Meg, David, Katie and Hannah… keeping the day running like clockwork with plenty of laughs along the way.

C U At The Davo… unforgettable day.
