After vacating their old buidling at the BHP site in 2016 the not-forprofit ended its 20-month homeless run by moving into a space in Hamilton North in August. With fitout still underway there’s no better time to get involved. And although the sheds are traditionally seen as the domain of retired men Public Officer Paul Schiebaan said there’s a place for younger men as well. “Some men don’t like to work with the older guys, but some find it extremely helpful in furthering their skills” he said Amongst other projects, Newcastle Men’s Shed is involved in the Waratah Village Christmas lights display and Tocal Field Days. They have also recently completed the trophy construction for the Tubes 4 Boobs fundraiser.
