## MABLETHORPE MEN’SSHED 2024-2025 

## CHAIRMAN’S REPORT 

We have had a successful year over all ,although we recorded a loss financially this was due to  British gas wrongly taking £3,400 Otherwise, we would have a surplus of £2,700 

Grants 

The coop kindly gave us a grant of £2,227 this paid for the laser printer 

Also, CCC gave us £500 which we used to buy spare batteries for our tools 

## COMMUNITY PROJECTS 

We made and erected a notice board for the community hall in Stanley Avenue 

The new train and carriages (mainly Pete Suddaby thankyou) for Mablethorpe in Bloom which we then donated to them, we asked the Primary school to name the train and carriages. 

The pirate which we made for the garden in Quebec Road was vandalised we repaired and will need ongoing maintenance. 

(A grant has been applied for) 



We have also undertaken small repairs for previous customers with health issues 

EVENTS 

Poppies on the prom (another charity) 

We were invited to have a stall which we gladly accepted at which we showed off our skills and sold items we had made and orders taken. many thanks to all members involved in making this a success 

The furlongs festival 

Another productive day thanks once again to the members who give their time manning the stall 

Looking Forward 

We would like to encourage younger members to join including ladies and people with disabilities as we have a bench that will accommodate wheelchair users . 

Remember the shed is not just woodworking or for members to make their projects its also for just popping in having a tea/coffee and chat and to help people not to feel isolated in the community. 

Social events have been organised and well attended such as bowling nights bell target shooting and Christmas meals to give members a chance to meet fellow members who attend different days during the week. 

Lastly, I would like to thank all the members for making the Men’s shed a great success 

D. Reid   Chairman
