18.01.2022 Well here it is, our new home, going to be a big day when we get to move in. Thanks to all for getting this far. Our guys at the shed plus the guys who worked behind the scenes to get to this stage. A few more jobs to be done in the coming weeks. Great things in the pipeline for the future.

17.01.2022 It was suggested we have an away from the shed day, known as C.L.O.F. day. Yesterday was our first day, morning coffee at the Red Relish Cafe in Yarra Junction, then onto the historic trestle bridge and restored Noojee railway station and finally a counter lunch at the Noojee pub. A good had by all this may become a monthly event.

16.01.2022 Whats been happening in the shed..... bearing replacement was undertaken on our radial arm saw, manufacturing of goods to sell was in full production for the Celebrate Mooroolbark festival, which we attended with our BBQ trailer last Sunday, sorting of donated nuts, bolts and drills etc along with a general tidy up. Twenty or so 'mature aged gentlemen' sure are untidy (our partners / wive will agree with that) If any men want a tour of our facilities please call in for a coffee and a chat. Attached are a few photos of the celebrate Mooroolbark festival.

15.01.2022 What a fantastic effort, the sum of $821.40 will be donated to the Victorian Bush fire Appeal. A team effort between Coles Mooroolbark, the local Community and the MMS.

14.01.2022 Our New shed site is starting to gain momentum,starting with two shipping containers.

11.01.2022 Whats happened in the shed this week.... Pavers have been laid from the main work shop to the existing path making access easier and safer. The new racking has been installed between the containers to store timber in a safe and tidy manner. The dust extraction compound is being lined and is to be completed shortly. Five new committee members have been elected to assist with the day to day running of the shed, this will hopefully help share the work load.

Remember if you have a husband, brother or uncle thats got some spare time, tell them to come down and join us for a chat and look around.

06.01.2022 Due to the fires, this group helping wildlife need Possum Boxes, Bird Boxes and pouches etc made. Wondering if the Mens Shed would help

30.12.2021 We had to cut some corrugated iron, one of our members, Peter, showed us a unique method, the sheet was left with a square cut.

25.12.2021 Our shed has opened with limited numbers, attendance by a roster, social distancing, face masks and lots of hand and tool sanitising, but we see ourselves as fortunate to be opened. Whats been happening, a new overhead air and electrical reticulation has been installed over the work benches, this keeps leads and air hoses off the floor, hence a safer work environment , we are still in production of goods to sell, we have began making a board game using glass marbles, a new trailer has been purchased, many thanks to the Bendigo Bank. Welcome to our new member Brad, and best wishes to two of our team that are not the best, Robbie and Skip get well soon boys.

23.12.2021 What a year 2020 has been, we can only hope that 2021 will be a lot better. Our Shed has been virtually shut down for most of the year, except for essential maintenance. This has had a deleterious effect on some of our members, to offset this we have been doing regular phone hook ups with each other. We want to take this opportunity to thank all of our sponsors and the Mooroolbark community for there on going support, without this help it would have been a lot more difficult. We would also like to wish everyone a very merry Christmas and prosperous and safe new year, hopefully catch up for a coffee at some stage. Remember if you know of any men with some spare time that like a chat and a laugh , the Shed is the place to go.

10.12.2021 Our quality control department hard at work
