Another hugely successful year! Once again we are full to the brim, with a waiting list of people who would like to join. In addition to our normal workshop sessions, we have had several courses during the year to enable members to learn new skills. Our most disabled members enjoyed making a wooden jeep and others spent two days learning box making. A new introduction is our monthly coffee expeditions. We are trying a different coffee shop each month, on different days of the week to enable everyone to come. This has proved hugely popular, and it enables members to get to know each other in a different setting to our usual working atmosphere. As always we have been happy to help our community. One such project was making a wooden cross for a local church. This was made by a member with dementia, helped by his son. The result surprised us all – a stunningly beautiful addition to the church, made from a piece of unwanted timber. Our most ambitious project has been to buy a defibrillator for the Cemetery where our workshops are situated. This is for the use of everybody in the community, for passers by on the main road and for visitors to the Cemetery. The Shed members are like a big happy family.
