About our shed
About Us
We are an active men's Shed that has been going since May 2010. Our membership hovers around 40 to 43 members. Membership is $25 for the first year (July to June) and then $20 per year. We also ask for a gold coin each time members attend to cover costs of morning tea.
On the third Thursday of the month we have a monthly meeting followed by a BBQ lunch for $5 per member.
Our Shed is in an old Department store building marked as 'The Big Store' that is over 100 years old and is shared with a local business. Inside we have a display case that is one of the original display cases when the building was first opened. We have a collection of old tools in the cabinet.
We are located in the main street adjacent to the 'Claytons' pedestrian crossing (The pedestrian crossing you have when you don't have a pedestrian crossing) opposite the Butchers.

Positive impacts
The Australian Men’s Shed Association (AMSA) is the national service provider supporting more than 1,200 Men’s, Women’s and Community Sheds and is recognised as one of Australia’s largest male-based community development organisations.
AMSA was established in 2007 by a collection of Australian independent community-based Men’s Sheds to represent, support and promote the Men’s Shed movement. It was founded on the principle of sharing information between sheds and those communities wishing to establish and operate a Men’s Shed. It acts as a central hub for information exchange.
