Offcuts 2: Sketches and Stories from the Shed (Paperback or Softback)

Another tantalising collection of stories ...

Following the success of their first anthology in 2021, Oxley Men's Shed Writing Group has come up with another not-to-be-missed compilation of fascinating stories.

Offcuts 2 includes not only another array of intriguing, amusing, amazing and sometimes unlikely yarns, but this year there are photos from the writers

and sketches from the Shed Drawing Group. As you'll see from their biographies, Shed members are a diverse bunch, and this is reflected in their writings.

You'll be entertained, informed and occasionally challenged by the range of stories, from working in floods and lighthouses to hay-making and hitch-hiking, from carefree schooldays and careless bank robbers to wartime Vietnam, conscripts in PNG, and cross-border smuggling in Europe.

And the sketches only serve to reinforce what a talented mob the members of Oxley Men's Shed are!

Stories by: Bill Barker, Jim Pascoe, Trevor Armstrong, Darryl Dymock, James Vernon, Dave Shearer, George Pugh, John Brown and Bill Thirkill.

Sketches by: Peter Darmody, Anthony Durrington, Brian Goeldner, George Pugh, Dave Shearer and Alan Smith
