When members of another shed felt the distance was a bit too far to travel, the idea of Ballagh Men’s Shed was born. They came together with Ballagh Social Centre to build-up a shed for the area and it has been up and running for about two years with 11 members in total. Members range in age from 55 to 80 years of age, are retired and from the local area. Before retiring the men worked in active jobs, now they are “looking for something to do” to keep boredom at bay.
