I am sure he would like it too .epirb: I am sure he would like it too .
I was seriously thinking that I'd like to be in a position to do a Women's Shed myself
Saw a thing on TV about an Ethiopian woman who started a huge garden co-op for women when she found that she was lonely and isolated after moving to Aus.
It was a huge success and she is intending to expand

Some urban gardens have been set up here of a similar nature . Not sure how they last as that bit is missed by the media . I would guess that vandal's would be a problem like any inner city program . Little red hen story all over again . In a secure area it would be Ok or smaller community's where everybody knows everybody , nothing like saying to a punk " I know your mother " strikes fear in the bravest heart .It was a huge success and she is intending to expand

serene56: Same here Happy I live a simple quiet life also, me and the dog lol.
I've never been one for hanging out with groups of women but I don't mind the idea of a Women's Shed (there are such things here), a drop-in kind of place where you can come and go as you please

There has been "Womens Shed" equivalents out there for many years. Most notably the Country Womens Associations and the View Clubs. And they have been for too long associated with widows and the grey-haired beehive hairdos. Way back in the early 80s, the wife (ex#1) & I visited a friend staying at the CWA rooms in Sydeney. She was around 30 then, and most of the people we saw were not much older.
My mum played hockey when she was very young. She was 82 when when she went to her last reunion "with the girls."
Dad, who passed away in 1984, was in Rotary. So mum was classed as a "Rotary-anne" and did enjoy many times with "fellow Rotary-annes" for many years afterwards.

CWI's they are called here , full of grey hairs and shrinking in membership as a lot of woman take an active part in running farms . Or work off farms as the roads are better .My mum played hockey when she was very young. She was 82 when when she went to her last reunion "with the girls."

Yeah, I'm not ready for the grey-haired set yet
I'd like to mix with modern switched-on women who are on the same page as me.
Just now and then when it suits

Many thanks to a very lovely lady (at that time) who got me connected to an Aussie magazine called "Outback." She was later the dreaded Ex #2. I have continued my subsription over the years.
And a very outstanding acknowledged contribution that have come through on the role of the Aussie woman battler in the outback propertuy. Okay, a few have come through thick and thin on "the family property" but there are many that have won through against the odds.
And there have been some of my family members that have not done as well as others. My uncle's funeral highlighted to me that while many saw "The Property" as "belonging to the family" they did see that it did go to the ones who cared for the property and its future values.

I have seen a couple of bits on tv .... may have been Gardening Australia or Landline on ABC ... about some Asian women (maybe Karan people) who had started doing the vegie garden at Werribee House (Vic). Some sort a local community project done under some Council ethnic female diversity project to get these women out into the community and meet others in similar situation.
Saw an update recently on the project and it has now progressed from just some woment growing some of the vegies from their home country to now some of their unemployed men have now come along to assist with some of the harder work plus the Werribee House State Parks people have now taken on a couple of young people from that culture as horticultural apprentices.
wash2u: I would suggest that you attend a few Dog Shows to get an idea of what is already on the market and what you may have to compete against. And also to have a look at the size of the market.
I showed dogs for about 10 years and never needed a pet trailer or caravan as I only showed one dog at a time due to how hard it was to prepare my breed. A lot of people I knew had several dogs to show and it was usually the family station wagon or van with several dog crates in it or fitted out. A few of the larger breeders did have dog-trailers ... also people with money who did not want animals in their cars.
