07.01.2022 Good health is based on many factors including feeling good about yourself, being productive, contributing to your community, connecting with friends and maintaining an active body and mind. Becoming a member of a Mens Shed provides a safe and busy environment where men can find many of these things in an atmosphere of old-fashioned mateship. And, importantly, there is no pressure. Men can just come and have a yarn and a cuppa if that is all theyre looking for. Members of Mens Sheds come from all walks of life the bond that unites them is that they are men with time on their hands and would like something meaningful to do with that time.

06.01.2022 On a gorgeous Melbourne evening a burger is just the thing to sit and enjoy for an easy dinner.

Get in there before October 31st to support our Shed.

06.01.2022 ALL MEMBERS PLEASE NOTE EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY THE STRATHMORE MEN'S SHED WILL BE CLOSED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE ... This decision has been carefully considered and is being taken to ensure the health of Shed members is not compromised by attendance at the Shed due to exposure to the COVID 19 virus. The Moonee Valley City Council decided this morning to suspend all group activities involving vulnerable citizens which includes their men's shed operations. Council officers recommended that we do the same and this recommendation has been endorsed by the Strathmore Men's Shed Management Committee. We understand that this may be disruptive to member's lifestyles but your health is of paramount importance to our committee and facilitators. Over the next two mornings (Tuesday 17/03/2020 and Wednesday 18/03/2020), some facilitators will be in attendance at the Shed to enable you to call in and collect any of your personal items including projects which you may wish to work on at home. We will monitor developments in relation to the Corona Virus and will reopen the shed as soon as it is considered safe to do so. Please check your emails regularly for any updates and thank you for your understanding of this potentially hazardous and continuously evolving adverse health situation.
