Very busy day at shed with I suspect biggest turnout yet. Lovely to see so many coming now.
We all had a fantastic time at our “Christmas lunch” and Rab did an amazing job organising it. Thanks Rab!
Apart from a visit from our MP we had another important event today: our Jan is 80. Jan (pronounced “Yan”) embodies what a shedder should be: welcoming, and happy to share his knowledge and experience. Jan has worked all over the world often building roads in unusual places and generally having fun! Happy birthday my friend we all wish you the best.
Continue reading “Happy birthday Jan”As some may know Scott, who sadly has Parkinson’s, was in hospital recently after taking a wee downturn. He then lost a bit of confidence and was struggling to come and see us. I thought we could cheer Scott up and let him know we are ALL here for him. So I managed to “obtain” a signed Hearts top as he is a lifetime supporter. (Thanks to Big Hearts)
Continue reading “Scott’s the Top!”Thanks to Scotmid Balerno for offering us a space to promote our wee Shed. We were very busy with lots of folk asking for their Dad or Granddad as well as ladies looking, and this is a direct quote, “to get my husband out the house” lol. The three Ali’s were all involved as well as Jack and Iain and it was great to be the face of our Shed. Hope we get new members out of it. A lady said she would love to buy stuff and we should sell at the Farmers Market!. We may indeed try that in December but depends on what we have and how many interested. Also maybe no room at the market!
Anyway, it was a good way to meet some new friends today.
Continue reading “Co-Op spread the Shed”Thanks to Iain and Ian, 18 or so shedders had a fantastic pre Christmas lunch at Riccarton Inn. Great conversation, great food, and a lovely time was had by all. It was a lunch filled with good conversation a lot of leg pulling, terrible jokes, and catching up.
This is what the Men’s shed is all about ,we are not just making things or repairing tools but engaged in mental health companionship and FUN .
