REPRESENTATIVES of other Men's Sheds in the Alpine region, as well as newcomers and women members, are invited to attend an information session, hosted for the first time by Myrtleford's own Men's Shed unit.

Men's Sheds in the region routinely gather at these cluster meetings to discuss recent innovations, share information and talk about anything from their latest project to their beloved football team.

"This is an opportunity for any member of the Myrtleford community, or surrounding district, to come along and see what Men's Sheds do," secretary of Myrtleford's Men's Shed, Barry Holden said.

"We've been planning it for about three months.

"Lunch and morning tea will be provided and there will be an opportunity to visit and look around the Myrtleford Men's Shed on the day.

"The sheds are places where people can gather; normally aimed at older people in the community, but they're not exclusively for older members.

"It's a place a couple of days a week, here in Myrtleford, they can gather, share interests and work on little home projects or group projects to help the community.

"Meeting attendees may be interested in becoming involved, or become a member or just drop in to say hello.

"One of our guest speakers on the day includes Alana McLees from Halliday Solicitors, who will talk about wills, probate, power of attorney and other legal issues which members might want to know about."

The Myrtleford Men's Shed recently invited women to participate, under their own banner: the Myrtleford Women's Shed.

"There are some Men's Sheds who already have women as members," Myrtleford Men's Shed president, Neville Leonard said.

"We've had different ladies speak to our members here about joining, so that started us thinking about getting them set up on their own."

Mr Leonard said there is a small organising committee who are currently working on the details to get the Women's Shed up and running.

"The ladies in the shed utilise the same space, but gather on different days, so they have autonomy of access to the facility," Mr Holden said.

"Ladies from the Albury Women's Shed will be attending the cluster meeting to share what they do.

"So, it'll be a good opportunity for anyone at all in the Myrtleford and surrounding district to come along with an interest to become involved."

The cluster meeting will be held at the Myrtleford Uniting Church, located at 1 Albert Street, with talks starting at 10am on Wednesday, February 19.

Anyone who is interested in attending to see how Men's Sheds operate, contact Barry Holden: 0433 229 431 to RSVP anytime before the day.
