Minnedosa Men’s Shed

Our Mission is to provide regular meetings for men of all ages and backgrounds who appreciate and value opportunities for social contacts, education, emotional and physical well-being by getting together we hope to get to know one another better and help communities in the area at the same time. Currently we have electricians, plumber, building contractor, ministers, farmers – all retired – whose company we all enjoy; whose former exploits bring laughter (good medicine) which leads to people remembering their own past and sharing them with us.

Activities

Activities: Woodworking, Stained Glass, Coffee….anything where everyone may take part if they so desire.
