History

Our humble beginnings

In early 2012 :  Doug Bettens and Brian Lawson discussed about a men shed in Pomona, there was a notice in the local paper for men in the area who would be interested in joining in this venture. Over time this call produced 8 men who stayed thru to the task.

It was decided to come together once a month in the Lawson shed to discuss options to obtain a shed and to see how many men in this area shown an interested in the concept, we collected over an hundred and fifty names on the heritage day in that year, so yes its worth while to continue trying to find an permanent shed.

Over the years we looked at various possibilities in the area some not suitable others to expensive due to rezoning and other costs.

In the mean time we did some community tasks, buiding an patio roof for the community house, build a pizza oven, build 50 bird cages etc, had stalls at markets and other special days to show yes we are still around.

At the end of 2014 we finaly discovered an viable options, a shed on the forestry land which has been vacant for some time, it did not take to long for us to gain approval from forestry department.

In the 3 years until today dec 2017, we have made the old shed water proof by improving the dainage on side, put new skin on the building had water connected tanks to Unity Water, build new shed next to it partitioned a meeting room with build in kitchen, constructed a small shade house, bought in a container and some small sheds for storage. And the lists go's on.
