Every man needs a shed, or at least a cave … Men in Kingaroy now have their very own “cave” that they can escape to on Wednesday evenings to finish jobs that have been hanging around for a while – or start new projects from scratch – using the latest woodworking and metalworking equipment.
“The Man Cave” will run on Wednesday nights from 7:00pm to 10:00pm at the Sr Dolores Carroll Trade Training Centre at St Mary’s Catholic College in Kent Street.
It will officially kick off this evening under the watchful eyes of St Mary’s staff members Larry Byrne, Mark Richard and Wayne Dombrach who will be on hand to demonstrate the use of all the equipment.
“It’s for men who want to get out and do something,” Larry told southburnett.com.au.
It’s envisaged as a social opportunity for men as well as a practical way to complete projects.
“Most people don’t have the facilities that we have here. It would be a sin to leave it locked up and not put it to use,” Larry said.
The Trade Training Centre – which is used by St Mary’s students during the day – is equipped with woodworking and metalworking equipment, computer milling machines, welders and a plasma cutting machine.”
“We are also hoping some men with experience will also come alone and share their experience,” he said.
The project is being co-ordinated by Fr Nigel Sequeira from St Mary’s Catholic Parish.
“We saw a need for it,” Larry said.
“Things are so hard in the rural industry and there is very little for men to do if they’re not involved in sport.”
Spaces are limited. For more information, contact Fr Nigel on (07) 4162-1958 or Mark on 0404-851-134.
