This year was not as hectic as our first year here at our Glebe House School site
when we were either renovating the NisserF Hut or building toilet, wood store, and the
Quiet room. raised flower beds. and V&￿1dfiov￿r garden, and laying gravel grids in the
shingle.
Wtth completion of our £4000 'Love Norfolk, grant, for purd)asing our large wood
lathe, topsoil for flower beds, Paint for the exierior of our Nissen Hut. Gazebo and
numerous assorted power and hand tools we required to improve our workshop for
the membe[5.
Working outside is problematic as you are open to all the elements of the weather,
there was originally a semi-permanent gazetKI over the table saw area for many
months. where Ihe birds deposited direct htts! They came in one day to find the
inclement weather had completely destroyed and blown away Gazebo!
It was decided to erect a sail over a larger area, again (x)stly and would ConStan￿Y
have to be taken down due to the weather. This idea was shelved. A more
permanent solukn.on developed. to ereGt an extension on the end of our Quiet room
which would have a roof and three sides, where you could potter under cover without
getttng wet.
Later in the year when the Santa's Sleigh has gone, a mini tnarquee which was
donated to the shed, will be erected for outside work under cover from the elements
which will benefit members when it is wet and windy.
We have Gontinued to help in making ilems for children's groups, a Large Sand box,
and a water wall. Assisting collethng from local people who have lost a partner
generously donating equipment and tools to us. Sometimes quality gear.1
We have been asked again thrs year to fft another set of one hundred tiles to the wall
on the north promenade sea VMII under the day chalets. local sch￿1 children paint
these. Unfortunately, the request is tcx) late in the year due to the weather conditions,
but we will fft them in Aprivmay 2024 after the last frosts.
During the year we have had a few members leave and new members join but sadly
Roy Evans passed away on Thursday 19th October 2023. Roy always with a happy
smile. One of life's ni￿St people. We will miss him. Roy Rest in Pea￿.
Thank you to you all for your contributions lo your Shed.
Thank you again for an industrious happy year.
We look fotward to seeing you all at our Christmas lunch on the 29th￿ November
2023.
Thank you.
