Hi everyone ... something new for Eden Men's Shed - a Blog.

This blog will let you all know what has happened, display testimonials and the like and as frequently as we can.

In other words, letting everyone that knows us or who cares that we are a community based organisation and that we, as a Men's Shed collectively, care and reflect on the health (mentally, physically and socially), well being and empowerment of the men of Eden and its surrounding districts and all men generally.

Stay tuned.

Christmas Sales

  Christmas is nearly upon with only a few more 'sleeps' to go. With this in mind, if you are looking for something special that is hand made as a present for someone, or for yourself (and who doesn't want something that is hand made, eh?), Eden Men's Shed will be having a stall - yes again - outside Twofold Arcade, Imlay Street, Eden, on Friday 23 December 2022 to sell its wares to the passengers of Norwegian Spirit, which will be the last cruise ship before Christmas. We should have something for everyone, with items such as a wild bird birdfeeder and a letterbox (if they are not on display and you want one if have them in stock at the Shed), grazing boards, a variety of choppy boards, fire pokers, billy lid and camp oven lifters. And don't worry if you don't have cash ... we are now in the 21st century and have a portable EFTPOS machine - that's right you can now pay with plastic (credit/debit cards that is). Oh ... before I forget, we will also be selli...

JUST YAKKIN'

 Well 2023 has gotten underway without too many dramas anywhere. The year has started for Eden Men's Shed a little slowly sales wise but we are all in good health, which is a really good thing for us, but we will persevere and we only see things getting better for us as the year progresses. We are looking rather expectantly to our upcoming Men's Health Muster on 21 March 2023 at Club Sapphire. Discussions have started in regards to prospective speakers and stalls, and preparations for the venue are proceeding very nicely thank you. One of the, hopefully, speakers may be Wayne Wigham, who started playing 1st grade rugby league with Balmain (Sydney suburb) back in 1976 when he was 17. He is a great speaker and very entertaining. You can read his story here blackdofinstitute.org.au/resources-support/personal-stories/wayne/  This has yet to be confirmed, but I will keep you all posted. At present other speakers have yet to be approached and confirmed, but we may have a couple or ...

Hey Hey Hey

 Hey hey hey Folks. I know, it has been a while ... but since the ships stopped sailing in (excuse the pun) not much has been going on! Well that was a tiny little fib. Eden Men's Shed has actual been flat out!!! We have been trying extra hard to make and create things to sell, but have been inundated with a huge amount of requests from all over the place. The biggest has been a request by the Eden Port Authority to make and install 10 huge, heavyweight benches to go into the wharf precinct in and around the Eden Visitors Information Centre at Snuggle Cove. These have to be completed by 16 October 2023 - a week before the first cruise ship of the season arrives on 24 October! The first of these are just about ready to be installed! Couple this with requests to refurbish/repair a side table, musical jewellery box, restore a 75 year old baby stroller, design and make a plinth for a model boat and everything else that came in through the door and TRYING to make items to sell to the pa...
