Men's Sheds
Our primary objective is to advance the health and wellbeing of male members and to provide a safe, friendly environment where men feel they belong.
MCMS was started in 2010 and has established it self in the Maitland Community, doing projects for Schools, Mainstream and Specialised.
Last year, MCMS made wooden model Toranas for the Toranafest in Maitland as well as run a BBQ & raffle there.
Every Xmas, MCMS is asked to build the East Maitland Lions' Cubby House, a major fundraiser for the Westpac Helicopter.
Activities include Gardening, Metal Work, Woodwork, computers, BBQ fundraising, walking, clock repairs and key cutting.
