WHAT IS A MEN SHED?
SEE LINKS BELOW under construction
A Men's Shed is a male friendly place where all men arewelcome - retired, retrenched, unemployed or just seeking company or mateship -young and not so young. It can be a place where practical things happen, like woodworkingor restoring old cars. It can be a place for sharing information and ideas,where blokes are passing on not just practical skills but life experience toyoung men. But it can also be a place just to come and sit for a while, have achat over a cuppa or play a game of pool.
Many people think of Torquay as the setting for a perfectlifestyle, the whole "sea change" thing. But that idyllic image isnot always the reality for everyone.
Torquay is a fast growing town, with housing and retaildevelopments growing at a rapid pace, but it is not always obvious how toconnect with the local community.
So don't sit at home, make those connections and become partof the local community. Please contact us if you are interested, have ideasabout possible activities, or ways to raise the necessary funds for otherresources for the Men's Shed.
We now meet at theTorquay community centre Price St Torquay
every Tuesday and Wednesdayfrom 9.30 am to 1230 pm
