What a year ... Thank you all

Well who would of thought that 12 months ago , a small group of men who heard of a idea would of grown into this .

Humble beginnings

Where we started

2 massive men , Micko CDLP( in red ) John Evoy Irish Mens Sheds Association( in purple ) Without you guys .....we'd be nowhere . Thank you

From there we went on to get into a bit of gardening , bike repair , dragon boat racing , saussage saturday's , and having the crack . Here are some the the things we got up to

Of course its all about "having the crack"

What the shed means to us

One of the best things we've become known for is our infamous  Saussage Saturday .

Most Saturdays , the lads will bring in some saussages , rashers , pudding etc, and thats when we fix the worlds problems , from how the golf went , to who should of being sin binned on the Rugby pitch ,  to which politician should be hung drawn and quatered .

ocassionally we just yack about serious stuff too

So that was some of our year , who knows what we will get up to in the next 12 months!

Thank you all for your support
