It was a big week his week at the shed as we said farewell to Mike – one of the foundation members of the Mackay Mens Shed.

We celebrated with lunch at Souths League Club.
On behalf of all members of the Mackay Men’s Shed, we extend our sincere gratitude to Mike Hutchinson, one of our valued foundation members. From the very beginning—over three years ago—Mike played an instrumental role in establishing and shaping the Shed into the supportive, skilled, and community minded place it is today.
Mike took on the responsibility of delivering safety inductions for our initial intake of members and continued this important work with dedication and professionalism. His advice was always of the highest standard, and his willingness to mentor others has helped countless members develop their skills and confidence.

We will truly miss Mike’s presence, guidance, and steady influence around the Shed. As he and Ellen move on to be closer to family, we wish them both all the very best in this next chapter. Their contribution to our community will not be forgotten.
