AGM

Posted on 17/06/202224/06/2022 by Allmac

Great turnout today and thanks to Iain, Ali and John for their organisational skills. We certainly had some good debate around topics such as membership, activities, lady members and day trips as well as an update on Stewart’s finger, his shed blackout ,and other “incidents”. Thankfully his exploits have been appropriately rewarded!

It was very nice to see that we continue to attract new members even though we are still in Covid territory! We have a lot of good people who have some extremely interesting ideas so upwards and onwards.

Shedders symposium

We had a nice change of pace today when rather than us splitting into work parties or working on projects we sat in the hall and had a lovely chat. It’s great to remember we don’t always have to “do” but can simply sit around a virtual camp fire and set the world to rights. I know that John, Bill and I enjoyed today and trust we all did.

We love buses. Come to the shed and build your own!

(Disclaimer – we didn’t build this one – but we probably could build something very similar!)

Outdoor projects during Coronavirus Lockdown 2020

Teepees

These Teepees are destined for a local primary school, where they will be set up in the playground to allow the pupils to play in their own little areas. The children will be involved in designing the colour schemes and painting them, and the school will investigate the practicality of putting cushions into them for the kids to sit on.

The bases are made from recycled / repurposed decking boards mounted upon pallets, while the sides are clad using slats recovered from other old pallets, screwed to timber frames.

And here are the tepees installed!
