SMSA Shed members – Road Trip to Learning

The SMSA are members of the Scottish Community Alliance which comprises of the countries leading community based networks. The Community Learning Exchange opportunity funds their partners members like our Shed Members to learn through the exchange of ideas and the sharing of common Solutions. You can apply for accommodation and travel costs.

After an SMSA Shed ‘upskilling’ presentation day in Saltcoats the men decided a road trip to visit Scotland’s first Men’s Shed at Westhill, Aberdeenshire would be a great opportunity to learn from the men running the oldest Scottish Men’s Shed. The next day they visited the Inverurie Men’s Shed which has a different set up and learnt from them as well.

Pictured here are the N Ayreshire, Garnock Valley Men’s Shed visiting Aberdeenshire’s Inverurie Men’s Shed. Lots of wisdom shared from the East coast where it all started as the West coast of Scotland gets their Sheds going.

Another benefit the SMSA offers our Shed members to get you up and running asap.
