Toogoolawah’s new shed to success
Ladies and gentlemen can now enjoy a a much bigger space to practice their craft , as the Toogoolawah Men’s Shed (TMS) opened it’s new, bigger workspace on Saturday, August 17.
With over 100 attendees joining the grand opening, TMS member John Devenish said the event went “really good”.
“We now have room to do multiple jobs at once, due to the bigger work area and have covered storage, which we didn’t have before,” he said.
The new storage space comes from the TMS turning the onsite reservoir tank into a storage tank, allowing for protected storage of donated materials, especially timber.
Amongst the many attendees were Somerset councillors, with Mayor Jason Wendt opening the building, State Member for Nanango, Deb Frecklington, Federal Member for Blair, Shayne Neumann, and eight members of the Esk Men’s Shed.
The TMS, who now have 24 members, are hoping more will join with the opening of the their new space.
Mr Devenish said “new members are always welcome”, including women. “We have a few female members, but if we get more ladies turning up we could maybe hold a ladies day, to teach them to use tools if they need,” he sad.
The new shed is located at 96 Belambi Street, Toogoolawah, and is open Tuesdays and Fridays, from 9am to 12pm. More info at toogoolawahmensshed.wixsite.com/mensshed
