Brings men together in one community space to share their skills, have a laugh, and work on practical tasks individually or as a group.
Meeting Thursday and Saturday Mornings at the Cromwell Racecourse from 9:00am. From 10:00am in Winter.
Doing community projects and raising funds for our very own shed.
Many couples find that after retirement, the shock of suddenly being with each other every waking (and sleeping) hour can cause friction, so the shed is a great place to escape the stresses of “underfoot syndrome”, and the result is that women are among the most ardent supporters of Sheds.
From a health perspective, men’s sheds are an ideal place for health professionals to gain access to men who may otherwise not take as much care of themselves as they could, and many Sheds invite them to give informational talks and basic health checks at the Shed in the men’s own environment where they feel the informality makes for a more relaxed atmosphere.
