CHANGE OF DATE Shed Men catch up at school: Friday June 17 at 6.30pm
What is Shed Men?
All Dads and Male care givers of the school are invited to Shed Men. This is not an official St Paul school event, but rather a casual gathering of St Paul Dads on the occasional Friday evening to network, mingle and do what men do. We are planning this year to hold a couple of Shed Men BBQs each term.
Shed Men is currently held at the School Shed near the Kiss n Drop. We come together and have a laugh and share a yarn with other Dads from the school over a BBQ and a refreshment. BYO a few non-alcoholic drinks, something for yourself to cook on the BBQ and maybe a chair.
It would be great to meet some of the new Dads and Male care givers to the school and equally great to reunite with some of the old Shed Men Dads too! Please come along and give it a try. All St Paul Dads and Male care givers are welcome!
