Promoting well-being for men and supporting our community
This nativity scene at Colinton Church was constructed and first installed in December 2020 by Geoff, John, and Alister. The components were stored away after the festive season and re-installed by John and Rab at the start of December 2021.
This will be a short note this week (Keith will be pleased!) as events have overtaken me and I still have a zoom rehearsal later tonight for our Harlaw Hydro AGM later in the month. We thought we maybe learn how to do it first. Could be a trial for our shed AGM but I sincerely hope not.

We have been asked to support Currie Primary Playground to make better use of 2 outdoor areas to assist with outdoor learning for children.
This is an easily made, efficient and inexpensive weedkiller.
These photos show some of the things that Shed members have made, and could be the basis of future projects for the Shed.
Any other ideas or projects can be considered!
Good news this week, Ali Mac has confirmed the award monies are still coming to us once the council get into gear so hopefully by the end of next week Lyall will be able to tell us that this is in our bank account.

Hi Folks,
Thursday again and I think I must have been at a low point last week as this week seemed to go much quicker even though I was doing much the same. A few good days of weather always helps so maybe by tomorrow afternoon things will have changed again but it may keep the day trippers at bay for a wee while.

I have 2 whisky barrels done up to use as tables in the garden. I want to fit perspex tops as the wood is not level. Whats the best way to drill holes without damaging the perspex?
I was going to order the perspex cut to size and pre drilled however the circumference of the barrel tops varies.
The Perspex will be screwed to the rim of the barrel which is only 10mm wide. The circumference varies between 55.5 and 56.5 cm hence the reason for drilling the holes myself, rather than having them pre-drilled.
