SHED MEN

At Shed Men we enjoy fellowship among blokes having a few beers and a BBQ. We always meet in sheds and our aim is to be positive role models for younger blokes and teach them a few life skills. Shed Men dismantle old motors and gear-boxes to help teach the young lads how to use tools and some elementary mechanics. The cast aluminuim is retrieved and sold to finance various missions of the church. Most importantly the dismantling of engines and the like encourages older blokes to talk to the younger blokes. Pastor David leads the group into some kind of topical discussion for the night or provides a guest speaker. Each meeting will have a bible reading and a short prayer.

Women are invited to send along nibbles!

THE RULES OF THE SHED

  1. Jesus Christ is the chief Shed Man. He is the head of church, home and shed.
  2. Meetings are to be held in sheds; houses are not permitted.
  3. Any shed that is used primarily to store household goods shall be deemed not to be a shed, but an extension of the house.
  4. Size does not matter. A shed may range in size from an outdoor dunny to an airship hanger, so long as it is a shed.
  5. If a shed is small, then the Shed Men can meet in the backyard next to the shed, as long as all enter the shed at some time to admire it.
  6. All visitors shall hold another man's shed in high regard, no matter how untidy is may seem to the visitor's eye.
  7. Other Shed Men's projects shall be admired, even if they appear to be a load of rubbish.
  8. Any man who at this time does not have a shed but intends to have one, has dreamt of having one, or has had one in the past, will be accepted as a full and honorary Shed Man.
  9. Shed Men's attire must at all times be in keeping with the surrounds; anyone looking too 'churchy' will be asked to change.
  10. Ladies will not normally be admitted because the Shed Men do not wish their sheds to cause offence.
