LMCS November Newletter
20 Nov 2025
A Shed with a Difference
If you have ever wondered about what goes on in a Community Shed, here’s your opportunity to find out. The Lake Monger Community Shed is holding its annual open day on Saturday 22nd November and, even if you’ve never heard of a Community Shed, you may be surprised by what it offers. Operating along similar lines to Men’s Sheds, the Lake Monger Community Shed is open to both men and women over the age of 18, with our membership split being 55% men and 45% women. Of the 350 members, 50% are under the age of 60 and 25% are under 40 years.
While the initial focus of the Shed was woodwork, wood-turning and metal work, it now boasts a very active pottery and clay-work group, an art group, and a 3D makers group.
The LMCS Open Day is the culmination of lots of hard work by members, who have created a range of hand-made clay, metal and wood items for purchase, the proceeds of which help to support the LMCS community. With Christmas just around the corner, this a great opportunity to find beautiful, unique, hand-made gifts. Shed members will also be on hand to offer guided tours of the facility, while other members will be demonstrating their craft. There will also be cakes and baked goods and jams and preserves to buy. A sausage sizzle and a coffee cart will be providing refreshments and the Lake Monger Recreation Club is located next door.
Established in 2019, the LMCS is situated at 146 Gregory Street, Wembley, overlooking beautiful Lake Monger/Galup with its tranquil water and abundance of bird life. The Open Day on Saturday 22 November is from 9am until 1pm.
