Look inside the men’s shed

HAVE you ever wondered what happens inside a men’s shed?

By Staff Writer

Leadership Great South Coast (LGSC) 2024 Community Leadership Program participants have gone behind the scenes of the Warrnambool Men’s Shed to find out and to help them craft a plan for the next five years.

Together with shed members, LGSC Community Leadership Program participants Rhianna Burns, Barbara Moll, Ashleigh Pruys and Mark Robson have developed a 2025-2030 Strategic Plan, a launch for which will be held early next month.

To mark the occasion, the Warrnambool Men’s Shed will open its doors to the community tomorrow, Saturday October 5 for a day of exploration, fun and a taste of what’s to come for the men’s shed.

This includes the addition of a women’s shed, a sewing group, an amateur radio (HAM) group and more.

The open day will also include woodworking demonstrations, a shed tour and a free sausage sizzle.

Men’s Shed president Phil Pettengill said the event would provide opportunity for the “next generation” of members and volunteers to experience the friendship, connection and meaningful activities the shed offered.

“This is the perfect chance to connect with a place that’s all about community, skills and wellbeing,” Mr Pettengill said.

The Warrnambool Men’s Shed can be found at 91 Hyland Street, Warrnambool.

Tomorrow’s open day will run from 10.30am until 12.30pm.
