It offers a work space for men to develop their own projects or produce items on request. Men can also just drop in for a cup of coffee and a chat. Our members are also volunteers within the community. The Shed is open every Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 09.00am – 04.00pm, Lot 560 Kalinda Road, Griffith. You can just come along, or ring Greg McCarten.
