Thanks guys for your support. Had a melanoma cut out of my shoulder yesterday so that was fun.
Sometimes it is nice just to let things out to other guys.

Yes it is...

Life goes on, yes it's a bit hash but reality is life doesn't stop so grab it by the horns and do what you need to...

Sorry if I comes across rude, but I've had my fair share of shit and what I've learned is the above comment.

I'm fortunate enough not to be battling the black dog but I have had a few mates who have/are and so I have had some insight into how bad it can be. I think it's great that this community of guys who in most cases probably haven't even met each other can offer up support and share a bit of themselves in doing so - takes a lot of guts in my opinion!!

Now I'm a bit of an ideas man at times and I was just noticing that there are a reasonable number of guys on here from Melbourne and I was thinking that wouldn't it be great to set up a "Mens Shed" somewhere that is based around a common love for Patrols!! I have a mate who regularly goes to a motorcycle workshop in the city somewhere and he pays an annual subscription and for that he can go in there, meet some like-minded people, and use their facilities and workshop tools (and expertise if required). I was wondering if there could potentially be an opportunity to link up with an existing Mens Shed somewhere and potentially hire their facility on a regular basis (maybe once a month) to get together, discuss Patrols, work on Patrols, admire Patrols, etc...?? I have no idea if there are any Mens Shed organisations around that might have suitable facilities to host something like this but my thought was that they would already have insurances worked out through the national Mens Sheds body and they might also be receptive to some additional revenue to help them maintain/update their facilities.

Has anybody every tried to get something like this off the ground before or have any experience with any of the Mens Sheds groups??

That’s not a bad idea but a lot of the guys on here work all hours and have family’s to care for I can’t speak for them personally but I’d be interested in a regular meeting spot to admire patrols an catch up maybe have a barbecue or something I think the hiring of a shop is a bit much too soon if it was a ford club maybe a workshop but not us patrol blokes. Except mine could really use a workshop it is very broken at the moment
