And as Dave is keen to impress that, despite its name, there were both men and women attending the open day.
He said: “It was a good mix. Arts and crafts seems to be attracting more women, and we had floristry demonstrations and then craft work on glass, coloured glass, which tends to attract more female members than the men. Overall, it was a good day, and the weather was brilliant for us.”
Kirkcaldy and District Men’s Shed is located in the former football changing pavilion at Ravenscraig Park and allows people to explore a range of hobbies, from woodwork to painting. The shed has also recently received a new kitchen, which members will install themselves, thanks to the Fife Council Community Funding scheme.
