CHWS at the Harbourside Markets!

Coffs Harbour Women's Shed had a fabulous day at Coffs Harbourside Markets last Sunday and would like to thank everyone who came to talk to us!

It was so interesting to talk to people who are interested in our project and get some feedback on our draft branding.

Some key takeaways from the day:

• A great deal of interest in tools from women of all ages, particularly older women

• Older women are really keen to build confidence with home maintenance tasks

• Younger women really keen to participate in workshops and share skills

• Using tools in our branding was strongly favoured

• Running some preliminary workshops at the Harbourside Markets is a great idea

• Some men think women should still be baking cakes and in charge of morning tea!

Generally, our day at the Harbourside Markets was very successful and we look forward to the next one.

Incidentally, these are my Grandfathers tools that I got to start restoring on the day!
