Fresh new shirts for brand new year

A SPLASH of colour and a strong sense of pride are on show at the Maleny Men’s Shed, with members recently kitted out in smart new work shirts that reflect the spirit and unity of the group.

The embroidered shirts, featuring the Men’s Shed logo and each shedder’s name, were made possible through the generous support of local businesses.

“We are very thankful to these local sponsors for their generosity,” a spokesperson said.

“The shirts really add to our sense of unity and pride, especially when we’re working together or out helping the community.”

Based at the Pioneer Village on Bryce Lane, the Maleny Men’s Shed is a welcoming space for local blokes to connect, share skills and support one another’s health and wellbeing.

Members enjoy hands-on activities including woodworking, blacksmithing and machining, alongside the equally important rituals of coffee, conversation and “smoko”.

The Shed is open Tuesdays and Fridays from 8am to noon, and new members are always welcome to drop in, have a look around and join in. Beyond the workshop, the group is active in community barbecues and local initiatives, lending a hand whenever needed.
