Men's Sheds
The Upper Ross Men’s Shed Inc is open from 8am to 12noon Monday through to Thursday except on public holidays. We have a well-equipped woodwork and metal shop where members can undertake projects at their own pace and in their own time. We also assist and benefit local community groups and organisations and encourage members to participate in community projects. Our goal is to provide a safe, supportive and friendly environment for all members and to mentor disadvantaged members. An annual membership fee of $50.00 applies and members pay a weekly attendance fee of $5.00 which covers morning teas and shed consumables.
