More on the First MSABC Conference
A few days ago I got a copy of the video that was made at the October 2021 conference in Squamish. It is a short but poignant video. Look out for the burgundy boys, that’s the mob from Coquitlam. Enjoy.

Wow what a conference!!!!!!!!!
I just got home from the first Men’s Shed Association of BC conference and I am bursting to share my thoughts.

Activity Report – Mid July 2019
Last week, Teri Towner, one of our favorite city councillors asked us if we could do a little work for someone who really needed help. There were two tasks, so this is a 2 for one deal. First we had to consult the tea leaves. This is done by putting some dry leaves into a container, […]

Activity Report Early July
Some of my fans have suggested that reporting on the inactivity that happens in the Shed may place the Shedders in a bad light (some wives have been sold the line that the Shedders are doing good works) so this report is intended to accentuate the positive (wish me luck). In this photo Doug 2 […]
