WHAT IS A MEN’S SHED?
A Men’s Shed (or Shed) is a community-based organization that provides a casual space for men to connect, socialize and work on projects together that can benefit their community. In other words, men come together to tinker, tell stories and hang out for good fun and (often) good food!
The name “Men’s Shed” comes from the idea of a backyard shed where you can go to make and mend. Men’s Sheds are like that, only you’re there together with others where friendships are built, knowledge is shared, and connections are made. It can be a community hall, an old warehouse, someone’s garage, or a virtual online meeting. Wherever it is in your town, joining a Shed is easy, and they’re always happy to welcome new members — or as we like to call them, Shedders.
MEN’S SHED OPEN HOUSE – WHAT A GREAT TURN OUT!
On Wednesday, February 12, 2025, we hosted our 1st ever Open House to launch our Men’s Shed. It was a fantastic night as we welcomed 33 guys to our event!
The guys spent some time talking about what they would be interested in doing as a group. Lots of great suggestions were made and we heard a resounding ” YES ” when we asked them if they wanted to do some woodworking in our workshop!
