Men's Sheds Week 2018 Celebrates Mateship
It's Men's Sheds week this week (Monday 24 September to Sunday 30 September). Now in its second year, the week is an opportunity to showcase the value of Men's Sheds to the world.
The official opening of Men’s Shed Week took place on Friday, at Menshed Wagga Wagga, which was voted the Shed of the Year in 2017. Throughout the week, Men's Sheds all over the country are being encouraged to hold open days and celebrations to mark the special contributions Men’s Sheds make.
