It was less about making money and more about letting people know what goes on at Noosa Men’s Shed when they held their annual sale day last Saturday, according to president Steve Phillips.

And there was plenty to see and buy at the event with activities to showcase including woodwork, metal work, artworks, plants and a band that was formed at the mens shed and entertained on the day.

Steve said the group had about 130 members which swelled to about 200 with members from southern states who have been unable to visit because of Covid restrictions.

Steve said with a background in management, his focus was on the administrative side of the organisation but at the upcoming AGM in a couple of weeks, he would be stepping aside to give someone else the opportunity to take charge.

New members are also welcome.
