Men's Sheds
The shed has been operating for over 10 years now. Our purpose is to foster and promote the physical and mental wellbeing of members by providing an environment where practical skills may be acquired or enhanced. We achieve this through regular sessions at the shed where members are encouraged to join us for morning tea and/or work on community fund raising projects or their own projects. Our current membership of approximately 100 has a diverse range of skills from woodworking, metal working electrical, computer, metal art and social. We specialise in woodwork, metal fabrication, precision machining and tractor restoration. One of our current larger projects is the restoration of a third Ferguson TEA20 tractor as a fundraising activity for mechanically orientated members. This has been a huge success with many members pitching in to help with their particular skill sets. We support all genders with women encouraged to join as associate members on Thursday mornings for mixed mentoring sessions.
Activities:
Arts and crafts, Car or machinery restoration
