Never seems open

TOODYAY has a large Men’s Shed building in Harper Road which never seems to be open.

I remember that they received a grant of around $380,000 from the WA Government to purchase the building.

Friends of mine in other areas say their Men’s Sheds are open most days of the week and on weekends when men can gather to chat, talk about their mental and general health, and work on various projects for themselves or others.

It made me curious about our own Men’s Shed, which I was told opens only three mornings a week for about three hours.

This doesn’t seem to me to be very good value for the amount of taxpayers’ money spent on building it.

I hope that things will change in the near future so that the Toodyay Men’s Shed can be used by more men, more often.
