Noosa Zone Cluster meeting a success

By Noosa Men’s Shed

On Wednesday, 17 May 2023, the Noosa Men’s Shed (NMS) had the honour of hosting a Queensland Men’s Shed Association (QMSA) cluster meeting for representatives from Sunshine Coast Sheds and QMSA representatives. 

On a picture-perfect Queensland day, the day kicked off with our resident band, The Hip Replacements, entertaining our guests whilst they walked around the NMS campus, chatting with our members.

After morning tea, attendees enjoyed presentations by renowned speakers on the topics of shed governance and health and wellness. These were well received, judging by the number of questions and interactive conversations during and after the presentations.

After lunch, the QMSA vice-president, Lawrie Bingham, discussed “future proofing” sheds to ensure their ongoing existence and longevity.

All up, it was a great day on which a lot was learnt, and many new friendships were forged.

I (Chris, president Noosa Men’s Shed) would like to take this opportunity to thank all the NMS members who helped.

The Shed's resident band, “The Hip Replacements”, kicked off the celebrations.

Shedders from around the region attended the meeting.

The day featured a host of informative guest speakers, including Dr Ted Flack.
