For our March 2018 event we opened up the floor to our Shed Time community.
The amazing Argentine BBQ was once again fired up and the bar suitably restocked to provide much needed refreshment after a hard day’s toil.
Our aim with Shed Time is to strengthen the sense of community between men in the local area; to increase the feeling of ‘doing life together’. We realise that each of us have stories to tell; advice to be dispensed, lessons learned to be shared. We therefore took the opportunity to harness this collective wisdom; to seek the advice from the front line.
The event was far more interactive in nature, affording those present an opportunity to share what we’ve discerned over the years, and to listen and learn from others. There was no pressure to participate, but we shared stories and sought – or offered – advice in equal measure. The topics on the menu were all relevant to our lives, which included :
- Parenting & Grandparenting
- Work
- Health
- Worry
- Bereavement
- Flatulence
- Family & Relationships
- Friendship
- Life
- Money & Debt
- Shed Time
- Community
- Emotions
- Mid-Life Crisis
- BBQ
- Sleeping Well
- Growing Old
- Vice
- Sheds
We asked :
What advice would you give to your 18 year old self?
What is the greatest (or worst!) bit of advice you’ve received?
It was great to see so many people turning up and offering sage-like nuggets to the group.
