25.01.2022 Hi - our shed has embarked on the task of making our shed OH&S compliant. It is somewhat tricky as we are in temporary digs at the moment and due to take possession in our new shed in the New Year. That does not relieve us of the responsibility of making the temporary digs compliant. So its all aboard the OH&S train - stopping all stations.

24.01.2022 we have just got the good news - our grant has been approved so in thje new year its full steam ahead with our shed.

24.01.2022 WALK TALL FELLAS The Peninsula North Mens Shed was tonight awarded the Promotion of intergenerational opportunities award by the Mayor of Mornington Peninsula Shire Councillor Bryan Payne. The award recognizes the extensive community work done by this shed and that men of all ages and from all walks of life and abilities are encouraged to attend and participate, with an overriding spirit of friendliness, inclusiveness and respect.

23.01.2022 They arre all inside making a variety of loud noises.

22.01.2022 We have been fortunate to pick up two sponsors to help with our BBQ needs on a Friday morning. Firstly Phil at Somerville Village Meats has kindly sponsored us for the meat and then Sharon from the French Bakehouse is sponsoring us for a bread rolls and morning tea goodies. Both these sponsors are in Eramosa Road East near the Commonwealth Bank so get behind these local businesses and thank them for their support.

21.01.2022 we had our grand opening today and everything went down well. We had a truck load of dignitaries and a heap of food. Fun was had by all and it is a relief to finally be in our shed officially. Much appreciation must go to Russ Davidson, our president, John Drysdale, our secretary and the committee for the tireless work that has been put ion to get the shed to completion.

08.01.2022 a bit of an update on a couple of projects on the go: first we have John working on a donation container for the local fire brigade. Its a helmet from the fire brigade that has been modified. Next one is Bob working on restoring an old train carriage door for the local train club the next one is a bit of work done by Kevin. Its a tree burr that has been shaped into a bowl then given a couple of coats of lacquer. The photo does not give it justice. Bruce is on the resto and th...ere is a total of 18 doors to be done so it's all hands on deck. john wanted a more shot of his helmet job See more

07.01.2022 As a sign of appreciation to our sponsors for our BBQ needs it was decided to give a hamper to both the butcher and the bakehouse. This is the second year that we have had their sponsorship and it gratefully accepted. So to the French Bakehouse and Somerville Village Meats in Eramosa Road East we from the Shed say thanks again.
