Hi
Shed notes 19th May
A repeat of last weeks reminders to start with.
AGM on 17th June, please turn up if you can. Iain has started to send out all the relevant information to all members. It is important that all have an opportunity to have their say or agree to what is being done on their behalf so can I please urge you to either come along if you are able or indicate by return to Iain’s email(s) what you, as a voting member, would wish. While attendance at the shed is not mandatory it is helpful to us when applying for funds to be able to (truthfully) say how many members we have and an email track always helps the Trustees. Tomorrow we will decide whether it is worth trying to set up a zoom extension to the meeting.
The cubs will be assembling the Birdboxes on Monday evening 30th May. We will start arranging layouts for that this Friday and check who is available for the Monday evening 7-9 (I think). John has already started looking at an assembly plan and we’ll hear from him tomorrow. Just to recap any shed members helping on the Monday evening do not require safeguarding training/certification as we will not be alone with any cubs and will always take direction from the leaders.
On the 8th June the trees at the scout hall are getting a makeover so it is best if we are not there when they are working just in case! The area around the trees was cleared last Friday and we’ll double check tomorrow. I will keep the trailer away for now, had an interesting journey down from Portmahomack to Falkirk today in high winds with a 3m RIB on top of it, securely strapped down but neverthless an interesting journey successfully completed!
I note from whats app messages the emergency exit at the scout hall was open again when no one was present. It may not have been us as there are many users for the hall but can I please ask that from now until the AGM this door is not used for any shed activities unless it is manned and closed immediately after a single use. At the AGM if anyone is not happy with this arrangement they can put forward a proposal for consideration by the Shed and the Scouts. It is an emergency door only and there is no reason for us to use it as a normal entrance however convenient it may be.
That’s it for this week, having an early night tonight and hope to see some of you tomorrow, stay well and please come to the shed when it suits and if you can’t come in person for any reason send Iain an email via the website and he’ll keep us all in the loop.
Best regards
Alister
