Men's Shed

Banchory Men's Shed has gone from strength to strength aft er reopening in February 2021 and the grand opening by Princess Anne last September. A steady fl ow of new members has boosted the Shed to around 60 members and the Shed has also expanded its opening to three mornings a week from the original single Tuesday morning. With its own separate premises fi nished in February 2020 below the Banchory Legion's ballroom area, the Shed off ers men of any age who have ti me on their hands the opportunity to meet up with peers, socialise and also use the well-equipped workshop for projects large and small. The Shed is defi nitely fulfi lling the role envisaged of providing Banchory and the surrounding district with a new place for locals to meet.

Our busiest ti me is sti ll the Tuesday morning session where much coff ee drinking and pu� ng right of the world is done. Att endance on Thursdays and Saturdays is also increasing, and for the summer we have expanded Saturday openings to every week. We also have a not-too-serious Bridge playing session on Wednesday aft ernoons and welcome new members, either those who are already a player or willing to self-learn with help.

Looking to our future, it's important to keep the general membership growing and to bring in new ideas and enthusiasm. If you're interested in joining, and especially if you have ideas of your own which you'd like to bring along, please contact us – what we do is only limited by your own imaginati on and interests.
