Welcome to the Showgrounds Community Men's Shed 

Click to View our Shed FlyerThe 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.

Do you wake up in the morning and hear a faint crying sound?  That is your iPhone crying out for help.  An iPhone is like the Excel app in that most people only use a fraction of its capabilities. We have amongst us an iPhone guru who can show you how to get a lot more out of your iPhone and how to make using it a lot safer and more productive.  You can also improve your online security while you are at it. If you would like to learn how to customise your iPhone, allocate different sounds for ring tones for specific callers, check your phones battery health, connecting to WiFi, use the emergency button, use a magnifier to help your tired old eyes then you should join us. This is a hands-on session so bring your iPhone and your glasses (if you need them). The expert is Mario Properzi who amongst other things runs courses in iPhone mastery for Trinity School for Seniors. This course will concentrate on the iPhone.
