Bembridge Men in Sheds (independent charity no. 1194908) Annual Report April 24 to Mar 25
Our activities over the past year (April 24 to March 25) can be broadly categorised into three groups i.e. helping others, raising funds and social activities. Highlighting the main activities under these headings we have:
Under helping others, we.
We re-installed the Toy Library at Paddock drive for general use over the summer months and we hope to continue this as an annual facility for beach-goers. It should be back in place for the second May bank holiday. Bembridge Primary School had their playground fence repainted. It’s now a consistent green colour rather than being multi- coloured. This was done during the summer holiday period to minimise interruptions and we completed the work before the children returned to school.
For the Parish we built a duck house for installation at Lincoln Way pond. We also refurbished the planters in Foreland Road and Ducie Ave. For the Methodists Church we repainted and restored two benches and built a replacement crib for their Christmas display.
In order to raise funds we made a few bespoke items for local residents and refurbished flower stands for Bembridge Holy Trinity church.
For the church we also refurbished all of the tables and chairs which lie outside the Cloisters, in time for the May Bank holiday street fair.
In May David Chubb and Ian Graham were invited to the re-opening for the Newport Minster church where we spoke to HRH the Duke of Edinburgh about our work making a refectory table for the church out of recycled church pews.
ShedFest was held at Sandown Airport in June where we had a stall. It was a good opportunity to raise some funds and talk to other sheds on the Island. We spoke to the High Sheriff and the head of Men in Sheds UK.
On the social side we held a summer Tea in the Garden event, a summer BBQ and a Christmas meal as usual. Also, now regular events, were 10 pin bowling in Ryde, pitch and putt golf at Browns and grass bowls at Sandown. The members got into pancake making on Shrove Tuesday, had a walk followed by lunch at the Harbour View cafe. Again this year we’ve been running a photographic competition every quarter.
Highlights of the year were visits to the D-Day Museum in Southsea; the military museum in Cowes; and Southern Water’s treatment plant in Sandown.
