Our Community Shed Bus Trip, funded through a grant provided by Linkwest as part of their Neighbourhood Week grant funding, was a huge success.
The day started at Greenbushes CRC heading to Donnybrook. Donnybrook Men’s Shed was a great example of how a Shed can grow from humble beginnings and develop to meet the needs of its members. After coffee, cake and a catch-up with members it was off to Cowaramup for lunch. Next stop Cowaramup Bull Shed. Their shed offers men only days and mixed days, where men and women may attend together. This is a very large shed with over 100 members, offering woodwork and metal work spaces. The committee felt that having a mixed shed enhanced their services and worked well for both groups as they all brought different experiences to the shed. The trip exceeded our expectations on many counts, with our members realising the potential of the shed experience, what can be achieved and the value of a shed within a community. I feel certain another bus trip will need to be organised for next year.
