Membership
At the end of the reporting year, we had 34 members.
Covid-19 Impact
Like so many Men's Sheds, our activities again were greatly reduced and progress has been greatly
slowed. Where we have been able to hold Shed sessions, numbers have been very limited and
various PPE and cleaning protocols have been implemented to ensure we have Covid-safe
environments. To date, the trustees know of no cases of Covid-19 among our members and resolve
to do everything possible to ensure there is no transmission of the virus related to Shed activity-
Activities and Achievements
In the year reported, our activities and achievements included:
Everest.. The shed continues to support the school with their school maintenance activities.
SupportinE classroom activities to help with teachinE materials preparation. Members are
also continuing with their own projects.
QMC: Several members have been unwell which has curtailed activities somewhat. A bottle
green house was erected in conjunction with students for the QMC special needs unit. The
QMC shed has been supporting the Shed in a Bus development, false floor, kitchen area
units and tables.
Shed in a bus: After a lot of hassle with an Essey-based commercial garage, we got an MOT
and had the bus towed to Basingstoke. We thank Stagecoach Ltd. for allowing us to keep
the bus in their Basingstoke Bus depot and for the help and advice given to us in Betting the
bus running. Major progress was then made in the conversion of the Bus. We added many of
the tools to the top floor, which is now a usable workshop. Downstairs about half of the
conversion of the rear half into a café/relaxation area have now been completed. The aim at
the end of the reporting year was to get to 4 summer events in 2021.
Music Shed: This shed met online during shutdown as Covid regulations and associated
caution prevented meeting in person.
Each of these activities relates to our objectives and contributes to the wider community in which
we live.
The atmosphere at the Shed is generally good and helpful. New members are welcomed and there is
usually someone to give a helpin8 hand about anything- ranging from advice and 8uidance to
solving technical problems.

We helped and advised
Tadley Men's Shed as they formed their new Shed. In turn they helped with our bus project.
The future
Our growth was hit by Covid-19 and is virtually static. We hope to be able to expand our
membership to others in the coming year, assuming that the vaccination programme enables more
social interaction again. We also expect to get the Bus to an operational state in the next year.
Thanks
The trustees and members of Basingstoke Shed express their appreciation for the support provided
by Everest Community Academy, Queen Mary's College IQMCI, and Stagecoach Basingstoke, for
their support, especially in providing us with dedicated space and use of other of their facilities.
