Welcome to The Shed
The Shed is Open
Saturday 24 July and the Kinglake Ranges Mens Shed is now open. The 'Soft' Opening was attended by around 30 people, existing and new members as well as the Idlers 4x4 Club who donated a fantastic BBQ.
The BBQ was soon put to good use for the very first time with both our President and Vice President doing the cooking honours. The food prepared by our V.P. Damon was delicious. Damon has now been dubbed our 'Executive Chef'.
Initially, The Kinglake Ranges Mens Shed will be open on 2 days:
- Friday 9am - 4pm
- Saturday 10am - 1pm
The Kinglake Ranges Mens Shed is there for every man. You may want to fix something, bring it in and use our tools, you may want to be involved in the projects and activities that the Mens Shed is involved with within our community, or you may just want to come in "to get away from it all". The choice is yours.
Membership is $50 if you are in full time employment and only $25 if you are a student, retired or unemployed. New members are always welcome, so call in to 5 Oldfield Road Pheasant Creek and become a members of the 'biggest' mens shed in Australia.
