Men's Sheds
The Murraylands Community Men’s shed is an incorporated not for profit organisation and a registered charity.
The shed itself was built at the Murray Bridge Showgrounds with funding and land provided by the Rural City of Murray Bridge Council.
Membership is set at the Annual General Meeting each year with a $2 door payment when attending the shed.
The group will be participating in a range of community projects to raise funds, but members can choose to do whatever they wish within reason.
People can be referred for membership who may need companionship, or simply need somewhere to go to learn skills, or participate in worthwhile projects.
The Shed aims to provide a place of peace and fulfilment for all who join.
The group's aim is to provide a suitable venue to engage men of all ages, youth, indigenous, veterans and other groups in the Murraylands district to share, disseminate and preserve skills, abilities and other interests that benefit themselves and the community.
The group will assist men and women to be sociable and share each other's company while feeling productive.
The group will encourage men to learn new skills and upgrade those already known, using tools on interesting and productive projects.
Activities include The Shed is a place of peace and friendship where men can pursue and share hobbies, pastimes and interests to contribute to the community.
