Kyneton Men’s Shed is one of the nation’s oldest, and as such it has a rich and proud heritage of helping men from all walks of life, often giving them a genuine sense of purpose after retirement.
It opened its doors in 2001, and began operating under the auspices of Cobaw Community Health with the objective of assist men’s health and wellbeing. However, in September 2014 the Shed registered its names as Kyneton Men’s Shed Incorporated - a decision welcomed by Cobaw, which agreed to support the transition to independence by enabling the men to remain in the existing shed until June 2017.
In 2019 the Shed - following four years of substantial fund-raising - built and moved into its new premises, at 2 Riverwalk Boulevard, Kyneton, where it stands today.
Membership is open to all men, and provides a convivial atmosphere of mateship and socialisation.
Members cover a wide range of skills from tradesmen including electricians, carpenters, plumbers, builders and motor mechanics, through to primary producers and farmers, administrators, journalists, and photographers.
The current membership fee is $50 (including insurance) although no-one is excluded because of financial hardship.
The Shed also runs woodwork and basic skills classes for women, and has a Ladies’ Day in the workshop every Tuesday.
