Empingham Mens Shed

The "Men's Shed" meet monthly in the Cricket and Social Club for informal talks, discussions and to plan visits - over a pint (or a coffee).

"The Shed" is open to all men regardless of age, background or ability, although it is primarily aimed at those who have retired or are winding down their careers. It provides an opportunity to share our knowledge, interests and stories with others, to apply these to the benefit of the village community and in doing so to develop new friendships.

The Men's Shed helps keep its members physically, mentally and socially active, and to make Empingham a special community.

New members are always welcome. There is a small membership fee but no agendas or minutes. Just come along - we usually meet at 7.30 on the last Tuesday of the month. Check first with Bob Willars .
