Some Auckland Sheds


I visited the Claystore Community Workshop in Devonport a fortnight ago and was pleased to meet Tom Murray and George Crook from there. I appreciated that their “shed” has been ticking along under the same management for 29 years! (Tom Murray showing us the evidence  - a receipt book from when he joined and retired about the same time!). What an amazing feat Tom. I would think that could make the Aussie Men's Sheds seem like newbies! Amazing and a pleasure to see the great opportunities they provide for the Devonport and Takapuna communities. At that same meeting, I also met Ross McEwan (2nd from left) and team members from the Men’s Shed North Shore Trust who were also keen to make contact ahead of the construction of what will become a large purpose built Men’s Shed project on the North Shore, scheduled to begin hopefully before the end of the year.
