Welcome to Melba Shed
MISSING THE SOCIAL INTERACTION YOU USED TO GET AT WORK?
Don’t worry, you’re in good company.
Our Shed members are typically older, retired men. Our purpose is to provide a place where older, mainly retired men can meet, socialise, undertake excursions, community activities and some healthy exercises including cycling and walking. Our overall goals are to encourage social interaction and advance the well-being and health of men in the local community.
No tools, no projects!
One of the great things about Men’s Sheds is that each develops its own character. At the Melba Shed there’s not a tool in sight, no woodwork, no projects. But there is certainly the same warm welcome you’d expect from any Shed, with the same opportunities to connect with other guys.
Weekly meetings
We usually meet each Friday, 9.30am at the Shed, to enjoy coffee and a chat, listen to an interesting speaker and sometimes have a barbecue. Aside from informative presentations, our meetings and various informal gatherings give us the opportunity to compare notes on all sorts of things, including men’s health issues.
Excursions
Every now and then we head off to check out local places of interest, like our visit to Mount Stromlo earlier this year, hosted by the effervescent space expert Brad Tucker.
Cycling?
The ‘EasyRiders’ meet every weekday morning at Stella’s by the Lake in Belconnen. Whether you ride, walk or drive, it’s just an opportunity to start the day with an early coffee and chat to sort out the problems of the world.
