Introduction:
The Sheilas Shack is a non-profit organisation where women of all ages share their
knowledge and skills, socialise, build friendships and attend a variety of workshops
and activities. It’s a place where women who may otherwise be isolated from their
community, can meet over a cuppa & chat. New members are always welcome.
The Sheilas Shack is open on Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday from 9am to 12pm.
Members can call in for a cuppa & chat, join in a game of cards, work on their
unfinished project and register for a workshop or demonstration.
Our workshops and demonstrations have included mosaics, pasta-making, beeswax
wraps, macrame, resin cheeseboards, floral arrangements, creative writing,
astrology, drumming, laughter-yoga, self-defence, car maintenance, home
safety and many, many more. Our Book Club meets once a month over
a shared lunch.
Note: We sometimes have guest speakers and other special events.
There are many social activities for members, including our monthly lunch at one
of the local restaurants and dinner at Nerang RSL and we often go to the movies
at Nerang Cinemas. We also sometimes have a group booking for a show at
Javeenbah Theatre.
At our monthly Members’ meetings, members share their ideas and we discuss our
future plans and events.
The Sheilas Shack supports other organisations and those in the local and wider
community who need our help. We have assisted many charities and
organisations since we began in 2013. Each year we collect and knit items
for the Homeless Connect event and donate children’s Christmas presents
which are distributed through the Department of Child Safety.
From 1st July 2024 the Sheilas Shack is trialling a new Membership Fee of $50
per annum with no attendance fee. Between 1st July 2024 and 30th June 2025,
there will be no attendance fees once the membership fees are paid.
We endeavour to keep our fees affordable for everyone and our past fundraising
efforts has meant we can trial this new fee structure.
Workshop fees will still apply and vary, depending on cost of materials etc, but
we will continue to keep costs as low as possible.
As part of the Country Paradise community, the Sheilas Shack participates in
events in the Parklands, for example, markets, Nerang Family Funanza, and
we cater for the Southport & District Orchid Society biannual shows in the Parklands.
