Over the last year quite a few of our new members do not wish to do hand's on activities, they wish to just come to our shed for male company and fellowship so it was decided to try to form a " Social Group" who if they wanted could do other things, play games, have a discution, ect.
The Social Group
On October 20th 2011 we held a seminar which was free and sponcered by The Wesley Life Force and titled {Looking After Your Mates.} It was presented by Jan Halladay, on the subject suicide.
1. In 2008 there were 2191 completed suicides in Australia.
2. Every day we have an average of 6 completed suicides, and aproximently 150 attempted suicides.
3. More people die by suicide than on our roads.
4. In 2008 1.5% of all deaths were due to suiside.
These are just some of the facts that Jan mentioned during our seminar, and our members found it was very interesting and informative to us and aware what to look for in a enviroment such as The Men's Shed.
For more information we advise anyone to contact Wesley at
