ž On joining a Shed, members must:

  • Confirm they agree to conditions of membership e.g.

Constitution and Code of Conduct

  • New member Induction – Who, What, When?
  • Respect the rights and decisions of all members
  • Conduct themselves in a courteous and safe manner
slide-16
SLIDE 16
  • Act in the best interests of the Shed and not

pursue personal agendas

  • Be inclusive – not form exclusive small

groups pushing a personal agenda After all, a Men’s Shed with no Men is just a Shed

slide-17
SLIDE 17

ž There are some self- proclaimed Men’s Shed experts -

many of whom are ill informed or acting with self interest.

ž Remember it is very difficult for ‘armchair experts’ to be

held accountable for misleading information.

ž Be aware of the ‘Peacock’ shedder ž Never confuse viability with being commercial – do not

compete with local businesses

slide-18
SLIDE 18

ž If you fail to plan – you plan to fail. ž Don’t be a talking head – be a listener ž Establish a list of needs and priorities ž Work with your members – not against them ž Men work best ‘Shoulder to Shoulder’
