Your Men’s Shed has been honoured to help many local organisations. From RSL Perpetual Awards to an SLSC rescue reel, the Glowworm Tunnel Station replica sign and Fords Bakery oven, the Shed has helped keep our history alive.

So we were very happy to work with the Stanwell Park Country Women’s Association to protect and prepare for display the 1950s ‘Stanwell Park & Coalcliff CWA’ metal sign. President Carol Pugh was very pleased with the results, and the sign can be seen hanging in the CWA Hall in Stanwell Park. Another happy success story from the Shed!

And, as life continues on, we bid farewell to Royce Standish, one of our shedders and a good friend, who passed away in August. A keen sailor, surfer, adventurer and biker, Royce was taken too early by Parkinson’s Disease, but not before ‘doing the lap’ in a camper trailer with his partner Merrilyn. We will all miss his lively sense of humour. Vale Royce, forever Shoulder to Shoulder.

We meet at 199A Parkes Street Helensburgh; 9am-3pm Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. Shed Tours and Afternoon Tea are on the first Monday each month, from 2.30-4.30pm.
