Step inside the shed

Step behind shed doors and find out everything the Hume Men’s Shed Sunbury has on offer for its open day.

The open day will be held during the Seniors Festival, on Saturday, October 4, and gives a chance for the public and prospective members to come and see what the Men’s Shed is all about.

President Ian Phillips said it will be a fun day for the community, and will hopefully drum up some new members.

“We’ll have the shed partially activated with some of the machines that can be working if someone wants to have a look at what we do,” he said.

The Hume Men’s Shed Sunbury boasts 90 members, and always welcomes new faces into the shed.

“We try to help men with the transition into retirement … we provide an environment, a place for guys to gather, have a yarn, and provide fellowship and camaraderie,” Mr Phillips said.

“I love the saying in the Men’s Shed organisation, ‘men don’t talk face-to-face, we talk shoulder-to-shoulder,’ which I think is a great philosophy, and words I live by.”

The open day will also include free morning and afternoon tea, as well as a sausage sizzle lunch for a fun day out at the shed.

The Hume Men’s Shed Sunbury open day will be held on Saturday, October 4 from 10am to 3pm, at 158 Evans Street, Sunbury.
