Men's Sheds
Shed West is a community facility located in the western suburbs (Kenmore ) catering to all men of all ages offering woodworking, wood turning, metalworking, computing skills, 500 card session, photography & many other sessions as required by our member base which currently stands at approx. 150 men who have various skills & are pleased to pass them on.
We also have morning tea everyday to allow members to interact & form friendships over a tea or coffee & meet at a meeting room at the BCC Library at Kenmore Tuesday afternoon where we listen to a guest speaker (various topics) followed by afternoon tea & refreshments with more friendly conversations.
On the 3rd Tuesday of the month we meet at the shed facility for a relaxed BBQ.
Several community organisations appeal assistance from Shed West with projects making or renovating their equipment which we assist with if possible & of course members are encouraged to pursue projects of their own.
Once a year (September) we have our AGM (annual general meeting) to elect our new committee members for the next 12 months. Members are encouraged to participate if possible.
Activities include Woodworking, Toy making, wood carving, wood turning, metal work, vehicle restoration, computing, leatherwork, pyrography, card playing, guest speaker seminars, laser cutting, community projects, excursions, BBQs,.
