THE Men’s Shed in Holsworthy, that meets in the workshop next to the ambulance station in Well Car Park, has celebrated its first birthday.

The Men’s Shed was opened by John Allen and Tim Stokes a year ago on February 1, and the members celebrated the anniversary with a tea party.

Since its opening, the Men’s Shed had gone from strength to strength and now has more than 30 regular attenders. It attracts men of many skills and offers friendship and support to its members.

The men come along for various reasons, they might live alone, have recently retired, are looking for friendship or just want to get out from under their wive’s feet.

But what ever the reason, they come together every Thursday morning to enjoy each other’s company.
