Ocean Grove and District Men’s Shed are celebrating Men’s Shed Week.
The week is an annual event that highlights the contributions of Men’s Sheds to their members’ health and wellbeing and to the wider community.
The benefits of Men’s Sheds are recognised globally with thousands of sheds established on almost every continent.
In every shed, you will find a diverse range of activities from woodwork and metalwork to art and technology to gardening.
But shed life isn’t just about handicrafts. It’s a place to knock around with a group of mates.
Ocean Grove Men’s Shed believes it is a great place to socialise, talk shoulder to shoulder and work on projects together.
Its aim is to bring men of all ages to meet and share their company.
The shed has an extensive library, internet access and a social area as well as a well-equipped work area.
Ocean Grove Men’s Shed is considering involving women early next year by holding Saturday morning classes.
The classes would involve learning how to repair those small maintenance jobs around the home.
To find your local Men’s Shed, visit vmsa.org.au or for general enquiries, contact Bruce Ward (0401-092 769) or Brian Mason (0421-639 566) or phone the shed on 5255 2548 or email ogmensshed@gmail.com.
