This is a gathering of all the sheds of the country and it is estimated that 300 upwards will attend the event.

Men travelling from the four corners of the country will gather to share experiences, exhibit projects, partake in the “Pallet Challenge” and join in the activities of the day.

Guest speakers include, Micheal O Muircheartaigh, Sean Coughlan from Social Entrepreneurs Ireland and Maghus Colin’s from Sand To Snow Adventurers.

There will be performances from Kilorglin Mens Shed Choir and Armagh Sheds Drama Group.

It is very important to stress that this event is not exclusively for men. On the contrary there will be something for everyone on the day, from viewing the projects of the various sheds to drama , music and entertaining and inspiring speakers.

There will also be an evening Banquet at the Harlequin Hotel on Saturday evening at a cost of €20 per person. Please contact the hotel directly if you would like to attend. You can contact then at http://www.harlequinhotelcastlebar.ie/ or +353 (0) 94 9286200 and hurry because places are limited.

All are welcome and we look forward to a great event for the IMSA and for the town of Castlebar also.

A shed is such a Special place,
with four walls and a floor
A kettle always boiling, and
A Welcome on the door.

Where men can gather freely,
To simply pass the time.
Where Pat, who is a friend of yours,
Becomes a friend of mine.

Where problems find solutions,
And issues are discussed.
Where all the World's problems,
Get lost among the dust.

Where every man is valued,
And equality abounds.
Where laughter,song, and stories,
Become familiar sounds.

What makes a shed so special,
Is the men that are inside,
Where a problem shared, Is a problem halved.
In friends you can confide.

So why not join a shed today.
I know you will enjoy.
And while your'e drinking mugs of tea,
Please tell them,I said Hi.
