About our shed

About Us

Kingscliff Men's Shed is a developing shed in an area of high numbers of retired men. Meetings, social gatherings and seminars are held at the Kingscliff Bowling Club. Workshop activities are currently held in the garage of our treasurer. A site for a permanent shed is still under negotiation, with a positive outcome sought in the not too distant future. The music group meets each Friday in a member's music room while the cycling group sets off from the Bowling club each Tuesday morning.
The weekly social gathering - TGIF (Thank God It's Friday) meets at the Bowling Club from 4 until 6pm. Occasional members' BBQs are held in local parks with partners dinners held in various local restaurants. The Ladies Of The Shed (LOTS) are a social group of wives of members who gather from time to time.
We have seven sub-committees meeting regularly to plan all aspects of our shed's operation. Each month, the co-ordinators meet with the executive team as the Management Committee. General Meetings are held when special circumstances require input from all members, currently 30

Positive impacts

Camaraderie

"I've found a great group of mates"

Mateship is an important pillar of every Men’s Shed – first and foremost the shed is a place for men to knock about with a group of like-minded mates.

Community

“I give back to the community”

Men’s Sheds are vital community investments delivering programmes and activities that foster community spirit and contribute to building a more inclusive Australia.

Health & Wellbeing

“My health and wellbeing is better because I'm a Shedder”

Many shedders experience improved mental health outcomes. Men (and women) involved at their local Shed report increased self-esteem through participation and learning new skills; de-stigmatisation of experiencing mental health and de-stigmatisation of prevalent social issues related to mental health.

Watch — More than just a shed

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.
