**members by using Zoom Meetings and a weekly**
**bulletin we called The Bugle. WhatsApp was a very**
**potent tool in maintaining the contact between**
**members of the group.**
**During Lockdown we managed to completely rebuild a**
**Santa Sleigh for a local charity. This was by no means**
**an easy feat given the restrictions. But working within**
**the rules we managed to complete the task and work**
**safely with no infections.**

**commissioned to make private sales for wildlife**
**equipment to support the groups income.**

**The opportunity to talk to each other in a safe**
**environment about themselves**

**Support for a number of members who had**
