The objective of the shed is to promote health and wellbeing in the community and we are interested to: i) recruit new members whether that is limited to coming along for company and a chat/coffee or active participation in some of our activities (note transport can be arranged if necessary); or ii) to hear ideas for wider community activities.
Gordon Gauld and Nigel Bennett attended the Scottish Men ’ s Sheds Association (SMSA) 10th anniversary gathering in Perth. It was a full day, with several interesting workshops on Men ’ s Health (MOT4Men), machine competency, 3D printing and the Community Asset Transfer process. The day was finished with the presentation of Shed of the Year award which went to Banff and MacDuff Men ’ s Shed.
By the time you read this, the Midmar Men ’ s Shed will have hosted the Aberdeen City and Aberdeenshire Men ’ s Shed network meeting. It ’ s a quarterly event, with representation from more than ten different Sheds. In October, four Shedder ’ s walked a loop from Aboyne up Mortlich and back around past the castle. Not much of a view from the top, as we were almost in the clouds, but it was a fine 10km walk in very fresh
air. If you are interested to join one of our walks, please get in touch. On November 19th there was a nation - wide Open Doors Day for most of the Men ’ s Sheds. All interested to find out more about what we do, were free to pop in for a chat.
