Men's Sheds
In every Men’s Shed, the most popular activity is morning tea. Contrary to popular opinion, men do communicate well, both shoulder to shoulder and face to face. The Shed environment is welcoming and accepts all men. No skills are needed, and for those who wish to participate in practical activities, there will always be plenty of help and encouragement to get started. Men are always keen to share both knowledge and skills.
In Mount Gambier we lease a large shed from the Mount Gambier City Council.
We welcome enquiries from men, their families or friends. We endeavour to provide a warm, non-threatening and safe environment.
Activities include Woodwork, wood turning, metalwork, fabrication, welding, vintage radio/telephone repairs, community donated toy making.
Phone and website are the direct paths. To send a written enquiry, use the form below; we will forward it to Mount Gambier Men's Shed Inc immediately.
