A place to make things, meet people and enjoy good company<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

And despite our name, women are very welcome too!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ferryside Men\u2019s Shed is a friendly, relaxed place where everyone is welcome<\/strong> to get together, have a chat, share interests, learn new skills and get involved in practical and community projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You don’t need to be good at DIY. You don’t need any particular skills. And you certainly don’t need to bring your own toolbox.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether you’re retired, new to Ferryside, looking for a new hobby, hoping to meet more people, or would simply enjoy getting out of the house and having some company, we’d love to welcome you.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83d\udd28 Make, mend and create<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

There’s always something to get involved with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Work on a project, repair or make something of your own, share a skill you already have, or learn something completely new.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And if you’d rather just put the kettle on and have a chat, that’s absolutely fine too.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2615 It’s about much more than making things<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Despite the name, a Men’s Shed isn’t really about the shed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s about the people in it.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s somewhere to meet friends, make new ones, share ideas, have a laugh and enjoy being part of something.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There’s no pressure to take part in everything and no expectation that you need to be an expert at anything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83d\udc69\u200d\ud83d\udd27 Women are welcome too<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Our name might be Ferryside Men\u2019s Shed<\/strong>, but membership isn’t just for men<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Women are very welcome to join us, take part in projects, share their skills, learn something new or simply enjoy the social side of the Shed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Men, women, beginners and experienced makers alike, there’s a place for you here.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83d\udc1d Part of the Ferryside community<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We’re proud to be part of the community at Calon y Fferi<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Members can get involved with practical projects, repairs and community ideas, as well as sharing knowledge and experience with one another.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But getting involved is always your choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes a cup of tea, a biscuit and a good conversation are more than enough.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Never been to the Shed before?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Don’t worry about joining straight away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just come and meet us.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Have a cuppa, meet some of the members, see what we’re up to and decide whether it’s for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No experience needed.
Men and women welcome.<\/strong>
No pressure.
Just come along and say hello.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Good company. Practical projects. Always time for a cuppa.<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

\ud83d\udccd Calon y Fferi Community Centre, Ferryside<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

COME & MEET US<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
