Hi




CHRISTMAS WORK UP
I'm leaving this topic in for the next few weeks so we don't forget about it - Now is the time to start thinking about what we can and can't do for Christmas. Ali 2 Sheds' wee Santa snowmen were popular last year, and they are easy to make. Bird boxes, wheelbarrows etc., are all doable.
I have managed to persuade Debbie (She who must be obeyed) to make about a dozen macrame shelves for us to sell at Christmas and I've attached a couple of photos of her efforts. I would like to use half-decent wood for the shelves, rather than MDF or chipboard. The shelves are generally around 40cms long and 15 cms wide and 1cm thick, approximately.

LITTER PICKING STATIONS
A chap from Hestia Mechanical Building Services will drop off some lengths of 4 inch down pipes tomorrow between 10 and 1030. We should then be in a position to finally finish them off.

ST CUTHBERTS CHURCH SIGN
We are having a photo-shoot with the people who made the sign on Friday 5th September at 1230, after the Shed activities. It's mainly for Skanska UK's benefit so they can include the project in their company magazine.

NEW MEMBERS
Welcome to Robin Scott and Jeffrey Leong. Robin was at the shed on Monday, and we've still to meet Jeffrey. Membership numbers are now hovering around the 50 mark with about 20-25 regular attendees at the shed on either a Monday or Friday.

AGM
Just a quick reminder that the Shed AGM is being held on Friday 26th September, directly after the normal activities. If you have any topics for the agenda, please let one of the trustees know.

SCRAP RUN
I think we might do a couple of trips to the scrappies tomorrow, as the bins are filling up again.

That's about it for this week...

See you all tomorrow.

Stay safe
