Frome Shed Newsletter April 2026
The Shed will be open on Monday 1st May - the Spring Bank Holiday. Unfortunately we don't have a Duty Manager for Monday 25th May so the Shed will be closed on that day.
You may have noticed that the upstairs workshop gets incredibly dusty despite our dust extraction system. Dust is generated when any wood or MDF is sawn, drilled or sanded. We have identified that the extraction system linked to the belt sander is in need of some work so a Do Not Use sign was attached to the machine. Please take notice of these signs - they are there for a good reason. The dust could affect you as the user and others in the room. Also please use a face mask and vacuum up any dust, please don’t sweep!
Our chosen charity this year is Somerset Sight. We will be holding a Coffee Morning on Monday 27th April, in the Shed, in aid of this charity. Marlene Bradshaw (Monday Duty Manager) will give us a short insight into the work of Somerset Sight and her role as a volunteer. There will be cake for sale and a raffle. All Shedders are welcome to come along and support this worthy cause.
As we start the new tax year it's worth checking if you have registered with us for Gift Aid. If you have but no longer pay UK Income Tax please let Anne Jones or John Corfield know as soon as possible.
You may know that we have a shiny new planer thicknesser and lathe in the machine room.
It was quite an operation removing the old ones and installing the new, here are the two principal suspects (pictured above) ,who were helped by others with the planning and seriously heavy lifting.
And finally a strange request has come in to the Shed. The Donkey Sanctuary in Beckington is looking for a volunteer to mend some fences and do some other odd jobs on their site. If you're interested please contact Anne Jones and she will give you the contact details. You would be doing any work as an individual and not as representative of the Shed.
