Helping Out
We have carried out several projects to help out in the community which included DIY and furniture assembly at Ayrshire Cancer Support. Our members also volunteer to help out at community events such as Troon Gala Day, Wintertainment, Troon Round Table Fireworks and Santa Float
Hosiery Park Pavilion
In June 2026 our Community Asset Transfer request to purchase the former Hosiery Park Pavilion on Brodie Avenue for £1 was approved by South Ayrshire Council and we are currently working on completing the purchase.
Once the building has been acquired it will require significant work to develop it into a suitable facility for us to use as a men’s shed. Click the button below for more information about our plans to develop the building.

Membership is free and is open to any man aged 18 or over who lives in Troon or the surrounding area, and who supports our purpose.
