Men's Shed Update

This week I've been checking out the websites of men's shed's around Victoria. I got the list here. There are quite a few as you will see if you check out that list.

One of the things I've noticed is how passionate people are about men's sheds. Most of the people I have spoken to are very enthusiastic and excited to see a new one starting in our town.

It's only one week until the Information Session so I hope you all have it marked in your calendar. It's on at 7pm, at the Neighbourhood House on Thursday 14th March. We hope to set up a working party to get things moving.

Men's Shed Update

This week I've visited the existing Men's Shed in Whittakers Road. They do a variety of woodwork activities and model building. We expect we will do something different at our Men's Shed and will work with the existing Traralgon Men's Shed so there will be more choice for everyone.

I've talked to many wonderful people. Some of the ideas are:

Recycling.... bikes.... furniture...

Metal work

Restoring Cars/ Mechanical repairs / Car Maintenance

Digital Projects - Digital storytelling,

I went to a Crowdfunding Information session last night ran by Pozible. When we have our plan in place it could be a great way to raise funds and awareness of our activities.

I'm sure there are plenty more great ideas out there and I hope you have marked the 14th March on your calendar to come along and share them.

If you can't make it for some reason, please call me with contact information and ideas so we can keep you in the loop.

Men's Shed News

The Traralgon Neighbourhood House Men's Shed has been given the thumbs up!! We are forming a Committee of Management of interested people to get this place for men to learn and spend time together a reality.

It's an exciting opportunity to be a part of forming a community resource!

An information session will be held on Thursday, March 14th at the Traralgon Neighbourhood Learning House at 7pm. Please help us to spread the word.

Contact Joh 0419 568 772, for further information.

I will be updating on the progress and reminding you about this because we want all the men in Traralgon to know about it and have the opportunity to have their say about what they want in their shed.
