hazmail Posted March 25, 2013 Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 Thought some of you older guys may be interested in this- It's been going here for about 15 years here, not a member yet but approaching THAT certain age . Great thing, especially for single guys etc. Pete http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Men's_Sheds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vodkaman Posted March 25, 2013 Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 I think your link is screwed up. Is this what you meant to post ? Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hazmail Posted March 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 (edited) Thanks Dave, that's the 'official ' website--I don't know how that happened, did the 'Mods' modify the address ??? OR was it me??? Here is what I meant to post - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Men%27s_Sheds --I just thought some guys would be interested in the history and how well it seems to be working here (and in N.Z - U.K - Ireland) --Is there any in Indonesia yet?? I think there is a bit of this going on there too . Pete Edited March 25, 2013 by hazmail Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vodkaman Posted March 25, 2013 Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 Ah, I get it now. Didn't really understand the first time around. Certainly nothing like that here, unless you count billiard halls Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tupong Posted March 26, 2013 Report Share Posted March 26, 2013 (edited) Unlike a strip club mens sheds give men in a community that dont have the facilities of a well fitted out workshop, a chance to get together to pass on their knowledge, skills and experiences with others while also doing projects that benifet the community they live in. They also help otherwise disengaged and "forgotten " men to feel a sense of worth. They are playing an important role and filling a gap that exisits in a lot of communities. regards mick Edited March 26, 2013 by tupong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
