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.

Fellow travelers, Listen Up! Who would have thought that due to the majority of the Travel Group Leadership Team being away, travelling, that we are forced to postpone our first meeting till after the Perth Royal Show.  So mark the new date (09/10/2026) in your busy diaries and we look forward to welcoming you all to the rescheduled first meeting of the new Travel Group at the Shed ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Welcome to the first meeting of the Shed's newest Group. Before we set of on any trips, what should we do to prepare ourselves, our homes and our pets for the time we are away? Seems simple enough as we have all done this before, but could we do better? So, the plan is to call upon the expertise of the Shed members by coming together at this event and sharing the things that you do and would recommend to others. Just like our preliminary meeting, we are seeking input from the floor to share your ideas, hints and tips so this should prove to be a valuable and insightful meeting. Some of the topics which we shall touch on include; Home electricity Water leaks  Pets Gardens  Visa’s Passports Home security Housesitters WiseCards eSims Note that these were some of the topics which our members raised at the inaugural meeting so should be of interest to many of us. If you wish to be better informed or to contribute to the Shed's combined knowledge and experience, then please come along and contribute. We shall open the bar from about 3:45 so you can enjoy a lovely beverage or two and the meeting will kick off at 4:00pm Please register your interest by purchasing a Free ticket so we can prepare the room according to demand.

This Course will be conducted in two Phases over two consecutive weeks (9am - 12pm) so you must be able to commit to both sessions before purchasing a ticket. Each Phase will be approximately a three hour duration. There will be a maximum of 3 persons for each Session. The Cost of this course (for both Phases) is $20.  If after booking, for some reason you cannot attend the training, please advise Michael Cahill on 0459062090 as soon as possible, so we can arrange another session for you.  If you cancel or are a “no show” on the day you will lose your $20 fee so please, only book if you can commit to the two consecutive weeks. Payments can be made online by secure credit card.  Once you have completed both phases of the Woodworking Machinery Induction your Membership Badge will be updated to replace the Red Dot with a Blue Dot.  This will reflect that you have completed all the necessary Woodworking Training and are ready to undertake any Woodworking projects in the Shed.
