A little while back the Abbey Medieval Festival asked us if we could assist them in producing some swords and shields (100 of each) for the festival.

Always up for a challenge we gave it a go. The pictures show some of the finished swords and shields, and we are very happy to have assisted them in making the Festival a great event.

One of our creative blokes, Heath, made these unique phone holders for his family. Pretty cool hey!

You’ll never know what great gifts or bargains you could get at the Men’s Shed stall unless you come along to the Beachmere Community Markets next Saturday the 6th June, from 7:00am until Midday, at 53 Rogers St, Beachmere.

We’ve always got some great pyrography pieces of art, and some great bowls and platters made by the guys at the Men’s Shed. Recently some of them have started doing some Laser Cutting and Engraving, there should be some of their creations there as well. And there' always some second hand tools and things.

See ya there!

This Saturday, the 4th of April, is the Beachmere Community Markets, the Easter one.

Come and enjoy a Bacon and Egg Roll from the Men’s Sheds BBQ, and wash it down with a superb coffee from REBEL RED. Along with all our regular stalls inside the Shed, you can get your last-minute fruit and vegetable supplies for the Easter weekend next to the Ultimate Natural dog treats stall.

And what would Easter be without chocolate and sweet things. Gooberella's Treats and Sweets. can help you out here.

Outside, as well as all our regular stalls you should have a look at the Patchouli Patch Soaps and Gifts stall. The Rocky Road soap looks good enough to eat!

I think we’ve got just what you need for those last-minute Easter presents, or even self-indulgence.

And if you want to pamper your pooch for Easter, Scrub Mutts will be there cutting nails, with hygiene clips by appointment.

Some of you may remember our international visitor Christy Sheehan back in March 2024, from the Mens Shed Mullinahone in Ireland. When he returned home, Christy sent us two beautiful hand-crafted pens.

Both pens are made from Irish Oak. The dark one however is very special, made from timber found in a peat bog, and is very old. The documentation that come with the pens authenticates the timber in the dark pen to be from around 6000 BC.

One of our talented members Heath agreed to make a display case for the pens. He also created a Certificate of Authenticity and mounted it, with the pens. in a fantastic display case he crafted from timber found out the back in the Men’s Shed.

On Tuesday, Heath presented the pens to our President Len. They'll look fantastic on the wall in the main area of our Shed.

We thank Heath for all the effort and attention to detail he’s displayed in making this work of art.

It was a busy Thursday last week at the Men’s Shed. As usual, our resident master chef Ken Ward did a fantastic job on the toasties, with lots of comments on how good they are from the guys.

We also presented the lectern built by Shed members Glen Colledge and Kenny Schouten to the Victory Church, accepted by Don Myatt who is also a Shed member.

And Stephen Pooler from the Man Walk dropped by for coffee and to present an Appreciation Certificate to our President, Len Rabbitt, for the Beachmere District Men’s Shed continued support. A few of our members join Stephen and others for a walk, talk and coffee on Wednesday mornings, another great initiative helping to keep men connected.
