ALTHOUGH the Mooloolah Men’s Shed opened officially in April last year, the shed has nearly completed all three working stations to become fully functional.
Mooloolah Men’s Shed’s woodwork and metalwork stations are ready for members to use minus a few finishing touches, while there is a social area for men who want to socialise and connect. They should all be ready for members to use by the end of September.
Shed president, Daniel Johns, said he was pleased to see how the association has grown in the last year. “We’re looking forward to starting to produce some stuff to be able to sell at the Mooloolah Community Centre’s markets restarting soon,” he said. “We would like to invite the community to come and give suggestions on what they want us to make and sell.”
Daniel added the possibilities are endless, already building everything from simple toolboxes, to vintage laundry baskets and even spare parts for a rug loom machine.
Mooloolah Men’s Shed will also be running the sausage sizzle stands at Bunnings Caloundra on August 31, October 27, and December 22. The Shed has also nearly doubled its numbers since first opening, from under 40 members to 77 members.
