Frome Shed Newsletter, October 2026
Our AGM was held last month, 27 members attended, and proxy votes were received from 13 more. Four Trustees were elected: Fiona D, John C, Steven W and Pam C.
Since then Ros R. has volunteered, and has been co-opted. Thank you, good people, for your commitment to our wonderful Shed.
The more significant items in the meeting included: The financial report, on the whole looking healthy, explained a reduction in the bank balance as the result of £3000 in machine purchases. Discussion will be ongoing in the Trustee meetings as to how best to invest our capital.
Discussion about greater need for Duty Manager (DM) participation concluded with a decision to clarify DM responsibilities, as some Thursday Shedders view the responsibility as onerous, and thereby disincentivising . The first Trustee Meeting following the AGM included plans to update and clarify the means by which we communicate with the world: phone numbers, email addresses, website, Facebook etc. Financial management and insurance considerations were also discussed and action points planned.
The Children’s Library fire engine is in the Shed for a re-fit. Pam and Val are organising the work teams.
Here’s a project for somebody .The table in the picture belongs to our landlord, Sue, and it has a split. Could be warped -? Currently the table is on the upper floor - turn left at the entrance to our upper room then left again at the end of the corridor. Have a look and see if you would like to solve its problem. Chat with John C. if you do.
HAPPY SHEDDING!
