So what is a mens shed?
Langwarrin Men's Shed is a place for men to go and spend time doing woodwork, metalwork and leadlighting projects and enjoy a cuppa and a chat with friends and mates. It can be a safety valve to release the pressures of work and family, providing a haven where a bloke or veteran can maintain and repair his sense of identity.
Established in 2012, and originally based in the Scout Hall within the Lloyd Park reserve, we moved into our own purpose built shed in 2015.
We are located next to the Langwarrin Hall on Cranbourne Road. (Click here for a map). Currently we have over 90 members who participate in a range of various activities, including:
- Woodwork,
- CNC Work,
- Metalwork,
- Tech Group,
- Training,
- Social Activities,
- Bike Riding,
- with more to come in due course.
We are a not-for profit organisation under the banner of both the Victorian Men's Shed Association and the Australian Mens Shed Association. We are involved in community projects and also training and assisting projects with local schools, and not forgetting our famous 'sausage sizzles'.
