## **Men’s Shed AGM – 24th November 2022** 

Chairmans Report 

Last year I reported that we had, had a restrictive year because of Covid, well I am pleased to say that we have not had any restrictions this year. 

Some existing members have still not returned, however we are constantly accepting new members – welcome to all the new ones attending the AGM. 

My thanks go to all the volunteers who have kept the shed functioning. Special thanks go to all trustees, Ian – Secretary, Alan – Treasurer and Mark for his virtual fulltime roll. I am still surprised that he hasn’t brought his bed with him. 

It is nice to see Peter (my coffee is cold) return to the fold, after his slight hiccup and the endless holidays (which he takes without official approval)!! 

Also special thanks for the Ladies group for organising raffles, bric a brac stalls and coffee mornings. 

Big thanks must also go to a non-trustee who took it upon himself to re-organise all the tools, with endless rack manufacture – Thank you our tool monitor Mick!! His next project is to list all the tools and where they all belong. 

We have undertaken various jobs for the community, from which we have had a steady income to help the finances. 

Speaking of finances I would like to remind the members of the Honesty Box – so please be honest and donate!! 

You will be pleased to know that I have nearly finished. 

The last thing that I would like to bring up, is that we are planning to have a big tidy and clean up on Thursday 29[th] December from 10.00 – 2.00, so all volunteers welcome. Good excuse to get out of the way from home after the festivities. No doubt you won’t be here thou Al – if it means tidying!! 

Thank You, and enjoy your lunch.

## TREASURER’S REPORT 

## A  MUCH BETTER YEAR ! 

Two good grants and a big recovery from the Covid closures has given us a great financial position.  There is however the growing problem of energy costs which have more than doubled with even larger bills to come. 

Without the grants we are just about breaking even and hopefully this will continue and the future looks solid. 

We just need to keep monitoring costs while ensuring all necessary equipment is available for members. 

A special thank you to the members of the ladies group for their fundraising efforts 

Alan Greenwell 

Treasurer
