Shed Shout Out! - October 2026

A monthly update will always struggle to be keep pace in a time of change but, suffice to say, our move to new premises has stalled until February.  At present, our plan is to keep running in Station Road for the time being although it will not quite be ‘business as usual’.  We are easing-back on the packing now to leave sufficient tools for some basic making and mending although our social area will (of course) remain fully-equipped and fully-functional at all times!

We’re probably happiest when our work is to help local community groups so when Treehouse Pre-school asked if we could refurbish their circular ‘Tree-Bench’ we didn’t hesitate.  

Peter took up the challenge and managed to fix and install it just in time for the new Term – great job Peter!

Moving house (or Shed) provides an ideal opportunity for a good clear-out and after 11years on the same site, we had accumulated rather a lot of ‘treasure’ that was ripe for recycling.  We then spotted that our local Scouts were collecting scrap metal to raise funds for their international adventures in 2027 including the World Scout Jamboree in Poland.  Scouts Margarita and Amy popped-in to help with the sorting and, together, we were able to add over £800 to the fund, quite a surprise! We wish them a very successful trip.
