Our History |
The Havant Men's Shed all came together when four of us discovered that Havant Borough Council and Mind were already discussing the benefits of men's sheds and realised that the perfect problem building was in HBC's hands.
We called a public meeting in June 2014 to establish the Association and took a licence on the building in September. The history has been well covered by Steve Hughes of Retina Photography in a two-part blog - view Part 1 and Part 2 |
