Our shed will be officially opened next Saturday 20th March at 2:00 pm.
This has been a long adventure to get to this stage and much thanks needs to go to The Hills Shire Council and especially Castle Hill Rotary Club and of course the committee and all of the members who have helped rebuild the place.
We are located in the old scout hall at Eric Mobbs Reserve, Ferguson Avenue, Castle Hill NSW.
Come and have a look if you are nearby, if not on Saturday, then any Wednesday between 10:00 and 2:30
congrats well done nice spot by the looks of things
Wel done to all. My old dad (84) has found a new lease on life since becoming involved in the Mens Shed project in Dareton N.S.W. ( just near the border with Mildura Vic.)

You should drop in and see us sometime, I'll be happy to give you the guided tour.
Good to see another Men's Shed about to open.
Great looking place and well done to all involved :2tsup:

CONGRATULATIONS. !..
Looks like a great shed and in a great location.
There are now over 400 Mens Sheds in Aus. Which really proves their worth.

A fantastic achievment.
It would seem with that many men involved, we should be able to gain a little more political leverage in the cause of the health of older men.
Whilst I am very aware of what our own shed is up to, I am, perhaps, not across what the combined mass of sheds may be able to achieve.
I would like to be more informed and involved. If you have any info. or you can direct me to places to find out , I would be most appreciative. PM me if you like.
Hi Avery,
I will certainly PM you.
Cheers,
Paul.
