Welcome

We know that Covid is part of the landscape now but members of our Menzshed are a group of potentially vulnerable people who feel its effects the most. If you are unwell or think you have Covid or a similar illness, please stay away and seek medical advice. Do not return to the Shed until you are fully recovered or have medical clearance to do so. Thank you for your cooperation.

As of June 2025 we have 62 members with membership open to men and women over the age of 16 years (but if you are 18 or younger you will need to be accompanied by a guardian at all times). Prospective members will be asked to fill in an application form. When accepted, the annual subscription is currently $55 per year.

A typical workshop session would have some members working on their own projects, others making items for fund-raising or community projects and some working on shed improvements.

The fine Canterbury weather enables some activities to take place outside in the yard  but most work is carried out in one of several workshop areas.

We spend almost as much time socialising as we do working. Visitors are welcome to drop in and see us and join us for a cuppa and a chat when we stop for morning break at 10:00 am. We regularly arrange outings to visit other sheds and when the sun shines, barbeques for our members and guests.

The Shed AGM will be held on Thursday 19th June 2025
