Monday 5 August - bring your blunt shears, scissors etc to the Shed for a tool sharpening session.
The Shed was in the Round House this year at the Children’s Festival , with a fantastic team of volunteers and an increased collection of Shedder-made wooden games to occupy and puzzle the many children who dropped by.
Huge thanks to Audrey, Janet, Marlene, Dave, Neville, John & Richard.
Our Annual General Meeting will take place on Thursday 26th September at 12:00 in the Shed. The meeting will do a quick review of the year from 14/08/23 to 13/08/24 including our financial position. We will also elect the Trustees. If any Shed member wishes to stand as a Trustee please ask Anne Jones for a nomination form. Similarly if any Shed member wishes to propose any resolutions speak to Anne. Please make every effort to attend the meeting but if you are unable to a proxy vote will be available.
A quick reminder about taking responsibility for yourself while in the Shed.
The Trustees and our invaluable Duty Managers make every effort to ensure that the Shed is a safe working environment. But they are not health and safety experts and haven't got eyes in the backs of their heads so please remember to take care, act sensibly and look after yourself and fellow Shedders. This means, amongst other things, getting guidance on the correct use of machines; not working alone in the machine workshop; keeping your working area tidy; minimising dust;washing up and emptying bins. When we became Shedders we all signed up to this.
Our annual membership is now due for renewal. This is the £10:00 fee. It can be paid in cash via the Duty Manager or via online banking. Anne will be asking all members who renew to confirm that their personal details, held by the Shed, are still up to date. It is particularly important that your Emergency Contact details are up to date.
When you renew your membership if you are a UK Tax payer please consider signing up for Gift Aid. The Gift Aid scheme allows us to claim 25% of donations (our session fee) back from HMRC."
The Shed plans to be exhibiting at the next Frome Independent!
Our wooden games will be there for the children to try, and and the Rocking Horse will be on display, and sealed bids invited for its purchase.
Volunteers are needed to help man this stall, which is expected to be by the library.
Please contact Richard or Ros as soon as possible!
The Monday Shedders all joined in to make a quilt for Linus, the Charity that provides beautiful quilts for sick children in hospital. Great thanks to Liz, Val and other experienced quilters who helped novices like me to make their contributions.
