Gladstone Men’s Shed Assoc Inc. has been established in Gladstone for 15 years now and is affiliated with both the Australian Men’s Shed Association and the Queensland Men’s Shed Association.  Our large buildings at 18 Moura Crs, Barney Point, are well-equipped with metal and woodworking facilities, electrical, furniture restoration, leadlighting and technology activities.  An exercise group have an enjoyable routine on Friday mornings and the equipment is now available to help us keep in shape on other shed days too.

The shed is open Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday mornings from 8am to 12noon for workshop activities and open for light exercises on Friday mornings 8am to 9am with time for a cuppa afterwards.  For further directions on finding us please refer to map

Recent News:  

One of the purposes of any shed is to keep men active – well we are certainly doing that! In September we have had a good event to promote RU OK? DAY closely followed up by an Open Day to enable the community to see our facilities and projects in progress.

There are certainly many projects in progress too, we have had a huge response from schools wanting to take the mini-golf courses so kindly returned to us from the GRC Events Crew at the end of their life there, so we will refurbish them at no cost to the schools. Then there is the work being done on our CNC Router, the 90 yellow safety men are close to being delivered, a couple of large Christmas designs are being made for photo shoots and we have done the longest sign ever for National Parks & Wildlife Service.

Health & Wellbeing is also to the forefront, a new defibrillator for each Shed has been received with thanks to a grant from the Gladstone Regional Council and we are currently arranging some CPR & Defibrillator Refresher Training. A First Minutes Matter training course on what to do before the paramedics arrive will be held 9am to 2.30pm on Monday 2nd November, this is free of charge and available to all shedders in the region, their partners and anybody else interested from the community. The Friday morning exercises continue to be taken by Carolina from Physio & Fitness and we can always take more members to benefit from this enjoyable workout.
