Men's Sheds
Our Men Shed is a place for the members of the community to come and chat to others and to use their skills on projects for themselves or work together on community projects.
The Members have previously made picnic table and chairs for the local Lake committee to have down at our wonderful Lake Lascelles, trophies for the Go Kart Club, photo board for local black tie ball events, pallet tables for weddings, garden chair settings, wine tables, wishing wells, chopping boards, cheese boards and pens.
Wednesdays are the main catch up days with the members coming in to chat and have morning tea and lunch together.
