Hi

Evening all

AGM
I sincerely apologise to Iain Millar, our outgoing secretary for not officially thanking him during the AGM for all his good work supporting me and the shed while I've been chair. Thank you Iain.

CHRISTMAS WORK UP
Balerno Farmer's Market date is Saturday 13th December. We'll need to be there for around 0830 to get things set up. I'll have more details nearer the time.

The Currie Community Centre Christmas fair is being held on Saturday 30th November. I imagine we will need to provide our own table/stall, just like we did last year. An extension cable would also be a good idea. Once again, when I know more, I'll let you all know.

OPEN DAY
Do we think having an Open day is a good idea?? We can publicise in the local press (now that we have Nigel as secretary!!!). Or is everyone happy enough just to go on the way we are and let membership increase by word of mouth??

FORRESTER SCHOOL STUDENTS AND PYI.
The boys are hoping to visit the shed tomorrow (Friday 3rd October) to ask questions and take photographs. So, no cross-dressing tomorrow AlexπŸ™ˆ

BAYNES FAMILY BAKERS - DONATION
We are going to receive a donation form Baynes, the Family Bakers again this year. Lyall has been in contact with them to organise bank details. I'm sure Lyall will let everyone know the amount when we receive it (or maybe he'll just stay in Cyprus....😊).

BAND SAW BLADE
I received the band saw blade and I'll bring it to the shed tomorrow.

FIRST AID WORKSHOP
Alex is arranging a FREE First Aid workshop to be held at the Shed in the near(ish) future. It lasts about 90 minutes and is run by the British Red Cross. The date isn't finalised yet, but once again, once WE know, we'll let YOU know!!!!

CASINO NIGHT AT THE RUGBY CLUB, IN AID OF EDINBURGH SICK KIDS AND CURRIE AND BALERNO ROTARY CHARITIES.
We have received an invite from the Currie and Balerno Rotary Club - see below
Two years ago, Currie and Balerno Rotary hosted a lively Oktoberfest at the Rugby Club, a fantastic evening enjoyed by everyone who came along.
This year, we’re back with a brand-new event: Casino Night! Join us at the Rugby Club on Thursday, 17th October at 7pm for an evening of fun, games, and entertainment, all while raising money for a great cause.

🎲 What to Expect
  • £20 entry includes a bag of chips to play at the roulette, blackjack, and craps tables.
  • At the end of the night, your winning chips will be exchanged for raffle tickets, giving you the chance to win fantastic tombola prizes.
  • A silent auction will also run throughout the evening, featuring exciting items such as a signed Hearts top, a weekend break in North Berwick, and other special treats.
  • A fully stocked bar will be open all night.
🌟 Supporting a Wonderful Cause
Proceeds from the evening will go directly to the Royal Hospital for Children and Young People (Sick Kids), Edinburgh and to Currie and Balerno Rotary chosen local charities and good causes.
🎟 Tickets
Spaces are limited to just 100 guests, so book early to secure your place. It promises to be a brilliant night out while supporting a truly worthwhile charity.
You need to get in touch with the organisers to book your place, it's not a Shed invitation... email:- curriebalernorotary@gmail.com or call Theresa on 07738 288636

See you all tomorrow.
