Shed Shout Out! - May 2026

It was heartening to have a good turnout for our AGM and particular thanks go to the guests and supporters who came along on the day to hear our news and ideas.  

Being a useful community resource is what we work at quietly but with a quite narrow, local focus.  We wondered though - could we contribute to and maybe benefit from slightly wider engagement?

This became one of our themes for the last year and it seems to have had a positive impact.  Our ‘Accreditation’ is one example but so too was when we contributed to a fact-finding project by Healthwatch Bucks.  Rather than simply completing a questionnaire we hosted a round-table discussion for one of their project leaders and about a dozen Shedders.  The result met their research needs but also provided us with an unexpected chance to share concerns and uncertainties.  This proved to be time well-spent and probably not something that could have been predicted or planned.

As we move into Summer, we will be out and about quite a lot more starting with the Community Stall at Winslow Market on Wednesday 13th May – hope to see you there.

Not always a 'Barrel of Fun'!

Sometimes we have to fix some of our own equipment. Derek and Tony making a simple task of fixing our 'Bobbin Sander' look difficult, as usual!

Here's one we (John) made earlier...
