THEY’RE on the road and having a ball, says East Loddon Men’s Shed president Phil Hercus after the group’s latest trip.
Phil says the focus of members has been to “get out of the shed and explore the area”.
Last week, it was the Rochester Sports Museum and follows a visit to vintage tractor collections in the Loddon. 
Phil said the group had plans for  a tour to Wedderburn’s Coach House Gallery next month and was developing a program of activities to expand membership.
“We have had a few more join since we started the road trips and they’re having a ball,” he said.
“Getting out and about is one of the things we can do beyond the traditional ideas of working in a shed on projects. It’s bringing people together for a good time and that’s important.”
The East Loddon group was originally formed through the Lions club before it became an incorporated group eight years ago and is one of five active men’s sheds in the Loddon.
Others are at Boort, Inglewood, Wedderburn and Pyramid Hill.
