Woking and District Men’s Shed AGM 9th July 2021
Chairman’s Report
This July marks five years since the formation of our Men’s Shed back in July 2017. 2020 was probably the most difficult of all with the small matter of Covid 19 causing disruption across the country and indeed, across the world.
Our discussions and plans with UKMSA and Anchor Homes came to fruition early in 2020 which saw us take delivery of our two new log cabins at West Hall and begin assembling them once Covid restrictions were lifted.
There were in fact two periods in 2020 when restrictions excluded us from West Hall. During this time and into 2021 we sustained ourselves using Zoom with inventive quizzes, wedding photos and exchanging photos of projects we had undertaken at home and considerable effort was put into fund raising to enable us to bring the construction of the new base to completion.
With the lack of personal contact during this period, I was very pleased to note that we did not lose any members during this tough time.
The Zoom sessions eventually morphed into the “Tool Zooms” where we crystalised our thoughts on our woodworking machinery aided by a number of useful videos, sought out by Brian. 2020 wasn’t so much a time of “doing” but of preparation and relationship building – we established contact with Bishop David Brown School and made bird boxes for them. Steve and I joined Woking ROC (Redeem Our Community) and meet regularly with them (zoom again!). We are now known to a number of community-based organisations who are keen for us to open. We still have a positive relationship with Greenfield School and expect to be reengaging with them once we are set up again.
We have created a good link with our neighbours at Weybridge Men’s Shed and look forward to regular visits with them.
I met a number of council officials at West Hall who remain highly supportive and look forward to us opening.
So, 2021…. We are back on site, construction continues, the cabins are now wired and ready for connection and our future looks bright.
We have to begin thinking about moving from the construction phase to the operational phase, which will present it’s own challenges. We are looking at the best way of publicising ourselves and aim to expand in a controlled manner.
I recently had a meeting with Councillor Mary Bridgeman who is now endeavouring to get us endowed with a large screen TV from a local supplier.
