EDEN MEN'S SHED INC.

  Well folks ... the first ever Eden Men's Far Shed South Coast Men's Health Muster was held yesterday. 55 blokes from 10 Men's Sheds ranging from Narooma and Nimmitabel down to Bemm River in Victoria attended. No members of the general community attended - their bad luck, as it was a very informative day indeed. There were 9 stalls manned (or womanned ... my joke) by a variety of organisations Organisations ranging from dementia Australia, the Eden Access Centre, Meridian Aged Services amongst others. Young Heidi Sharples provided the entertainment for the day, and did an excellent job at it ... everyone enjoyed her singing and guitar playing - and want her back! Speakers were from varying backgrounds - including a pharmacist, Meridian Aged Services, and Wayne Wigham from the Black Dog Institute., and, again, amongst others. The day was a great success for us at Eden Men's Shed and the main comments were that it should be repeated (one bloke said every 3 months ... err...

 Well, only 16 sleeps until the Muster! It should be a good day - a few speakers, and couple of stalls (including ours where goodies will be offered for sale), a yarn or four about the different Sheds (and maybe a complaint or 2 as well) and food to keep us all going throughout the day. We may even be able to catch up on other Shedders that we have met over the years. Well here's hoping for a great day ... if it works out, it may end up an annual/biannual event. Here's lookin' at ya kids. Lou
