Men's Shed Pomona
“It's a lot easier for a committee member to do his task. By using things the same way over time, previous committee members can easily fill in if there is an emergency.”
— Rudy Meyer, Secretary
The organisation
Men's Shed Pomona was established in 2012, 135 kilometres north of Brisbane. Like many Men's Sheds, it serves as a vital community hub for men's health and social connection. The organisation runs with a lean committee of six — President, Vice President, Secretary, Treasurer, and two general members — most of whom are retired.
The challenge
With retired committee members frequently away on holidays or managing health issues, information was scattered and inaccessible. When the secretary was travelling, no one else could find what they needed to keep things running. There were no centralised records, no automated task tracking, and no way for absent committee members to stay across decisions. Every absence created an information gap that slowed the whole organisation down.
How TidyHQ helped
Secretary Rudy Meyer migrated all administrative operations into TidyHQ. Governance documents, meeting records, membership data, and task assignments now live in one accessible platform. Committee members can log in from anywhere — whether they're at home, on holiday, or at the shed — and see exactly what needs doing. The organisation is progressively moving financial tracking from spreadsheets into TidyHQ's finance module for membership fees, grants, and sponsorship management.

The outcome
Committee members now access the information they need regardless of where they are, enabling better decisions with fewer people present. When someone steps in to cover for an absent member, the context is already there. The administrative burden has dropped significantly, and the organisation's institutional knowledge no longer depends on any single person being available.
