Welcome to the Showgrounds Community Men's Shed

Click to View our Shed Flyer The Showgrounds Community Men's Shed provides opportunities for members to work on their own projects, join a team working on Shed activities and tasks, or just share time, recreation and fellowship with other members. Many of our activities include partners and family, so we celebrate the broader world of men as well as the uniqueness of men together.

New members and anyone interested in who we are and what we do, are very welcome any time we’re open, so feel free to call by the Shed at the Claremont Showgrounds (enter through Gate 8 off Ashton Avenue), and have a chat to us to see how we go about men’s interests and wellbeing.

Our Shed is part of the nation-wide network of Men’s Sheds in Australia and is supported locally by the Men’s Shed of WA (MSWA). Drop into any Shed and have a look at what we do.

The Shed welcomes requests from the Public to undertake jobs from small repairs to larger woodworking projects for reasonable fees, so bring us your ideas or items that need fixing and see what we can offer.

We hope you find useful information on this website that shows how we support community members in both purpose as men together as well as having fun and recreation to enjoy life to the full. Please get in touch if you feel we can be part of your lifestyle or undertake tasks that help you in your day to day life.

Blue Dot Verification of Competency (VOC) Assessments (commencing 13 Apr '26)

Showgrounds Community Men's Shed

13-04-2026 09:00 AM – 18-04-2026 03:00 PM

To maintain your Blue Dot Woodworking Accreditation you will need to, you will need to undertake a Verification of Competency (VOC) Assessment as follows. Woodworking members aged under 75 years will be assessed every 24 months Woodworking members aged 75 to 80 years will be assessed every 18 months Woodworking members aged 80 to 90 years will be assessed every 12 months Woodworking members older than 90 years will be assessed every 6 months You will be assigned a simple task which shouldn’t take more than about 30 minutes. This is not a test of your craftsmanship; it is simply a demonstration that you can competently use the machinery unsupervised without endangering yourself or others. You can book your VOC Assessment by clicking on your preferred VOC Assessment date below. The Rostered Supervisor for the day will oversee your assessment and he will either deem you "competent" or refer you to a Trainer for further assessment or training. If you choose not to do the VOC Assessment, you will no longer be able to use the Machine Room equipment unsupervised.
