Location is behind Jackson Road Op shop. 55 Jackson Rd. Times will expand as 2023 moves along. Russell Island Men's Shed Inc. have signed an agreement allowing it to begin activities on the site being a Shed attached to The Hut behind BICS at 55 Jackson road. Before activities can begin RIMSInc will call a general information and sign up meeting for all people wanting to get involved in Men’s Shed
activities. This meeting will be at 10am on the 11th March 2021 at the function room in the BICS building. All welcome. There are plans underway to expand the Shed ASAP. Notices about the meeting will be put up around the island and on Facebook. RIMSInc has moved into the Shed. The goal of the Shed is to create an inclusive and friendly environment for men of all ages to come together and share their story while working on projects. It is said men don't talk face to face, they talk shoulder to shoulder. I think we can all attest to that. Sheds are also a place of learning, many sheds run regular health check ups and talks along with cooking and nutrition classes. I would hope that our Shed would run a ladies day as the need arises. Many women express an interest in learning new skills. Men's sheds are a great asset to the community by giving men a purpose and secondly by being on hand to build infrastructure for council and other groups. This Video sums it all up so well. http://youtu.be/7J5vtmXh9tA
