Both Bruce Carman and Roy Boyd celebrated 100 attendances together. For some strange reason they were moved to sing the Collingwood theme song!

Cunderdin visitors
Nine members of the Cunderdin Men’s Shed drove all the way down to visit our shed as part of their ‘social excursion’ activities. A cuppa, lots of chat, a tour of our shed, showing the kinds of things we’re doing, culminating in a warm invitation for Vincent Men’s Shed to visit Cunderdin Men’s Shed anytime.
All the fun at the Fair
The Shed manned a marquee at the Hyde Park Festival. Our aim was to make ourselves known to encourage new membership. As a bonus we received about $350 through sale of goods made by shed members. Adam Price and Adam Schofield look relaxed. Roy Haagman presented Mark McGowan wit

Communication workshop
Vincent Men’s Shed welcomed Owen Catto from the Regional Men’s Health Initiative. There was some pretty alarming statistics presented regarding men’s health outcomes compared with women’s health outcomes which made us sit up and take notice. However the main topic was “Communications” and Owen described, in a good humoured manner the differences between the way the male and female brains and communicating styles operate, illustrated by some amusing videos and slides. It kept everyone interested and sometimes squirming in their seats as they recognized their own behaviors being described. A great presentation and Owen joined us for a sausage sizzle afterwards.
