Glasgow Area Men's Shed [GAMS] formed from individuals looking for a central Glasgow Men's Shed in January 2014. We came together via the UK Men's Shed site. We original six Shedders then found out that we all wanted, or were involved in setting up our own individual local Sheds!
However, we all felt a need for a central Glasgow area Shedders focal point to provide mutual guidance and support for men wanting Sheds - either their own, help Sheds form up, to spread the word - 'Sheds'.
Thus was born Glasgow Area Men's Sheds = 'GAMS'.
GAMS' first formal meeting in February 2014, was at the Centre for Continuing Learning, Strathclyde University with Barry Golding, Jon Evoy and Jason Schroder [convenors of Australian, Irish and Scottish Sheds associations], with around 50 potential Shedders, community work practitioners and academics. The strong interest from community work practitioners and academics through GAMS has continued - everyone is welcome to join in at GAMS! [email protected]
