Men's Sheds
Our Shed opened in March 2014, new members and visitors are always welcome. We currently have over 120 members on our books, but usually 5 to 25 members attend on any given day.
The Shed is 15 by 9 meters and has been purposely designed and built as a Men’s Shed. It is fully insulated, with a kitchen, air-conditioning, disabled access, toilet and tools. We engage mostly in wood and metalworking projects, as well as some other specialised areas.
It’s not just about the tools, so for those that just want to come for a chat or coffee/tea we have the kitchen and a great meeting table. It’s a MEN’s SHED, not a workhouse, so come and enjoy yourself. Members are encouraged to get involved with the community projects we undertake or work on their own projects.
Membership is compulsory and is $60 per year due 30 June each year.
Activities:
Woodwork, Metalwork, Electronics, Plastics
Lead-lighting glass works, 3D Printing
