## **HARTLEPOOL MEN’S SHED** 

## Chairman’s Report for AGM 

It has been another restrictive year for the shed because of the ongoing pandemic.  However, apart from a voluntary closure for six weeks the shed has remained open since then. 

Some existing members have still not returned however.  Attendance has risen steadily throughout the year and is surprisingly good.  The once quiet Wednesday is now as busy as Tuesday and Thursday. 

My thanks go to all the volunteers who have kept the shed functioning, particularly Mark who is always in attendance including helping the Ladies group 

Thanks also to the Ladies group for once again organising the raffle and also attending craft fairs 

During the year we came to an agreement with the Hartlepool Chines Association for them to utilise our greenhouse and bedding areas for an annual fee 

We have managed to acquire through grant applications fees and donations funds for the running of the shed 

We have designed and built a canopy outside as an extra working space especially for dusty work which has proved invaluable 

In the New Year it is hoped we can reconfigure the wood store to make it more user friendly.  It is also hoped we can replace the main car park gates. 

Thanks for your attendance 

Stan Filipowitz 

Chairman

**DEFECIT 357** 



## TREASURER’S REPORT 

Another year of steady consolidation despite the impact of Covid restrictions. 

A large grant from Durham County Council helped to off set the expected drop in income and the capital purchases. 

There were no major outlays on the building structure and none expected . 

It is hoped that the relaxation of rules for the coming year will give us an increase in income, but we are still in need of some grant income to keep a buffer for unexpected costs 

Overall I think we did very well to keep ourselves as a viable organisation
