## BILLINGSHURST MEN’S SHED 

## TRUSTEES REPORT 

AUGUST 2023 – JULY 2024 

This financial year started with us continuing to complete the construction and equipping of our workshop, which was completed by the end of 2023 approximately, with more equipment donated during the year to give us what we consider to be a Men’s Shed worthy of the name. 

Plans for the future were discussed and preparations made for the addition of a wood storage shed, and a grant was obtained to enable us to enact this addition. 

Our membership continued to grow slowly, to a maximum of 21, although of course not all were regulars. Unfortunately our Hon. Sec. decided that he could no longer continue in his role and left our ranks. We continue to look for his replacement. 

Membership fees were set at a very reasonable level and there were no calls for them to be reduced. What with our weekly subscriptions from attendees and donations received for work and repairs done, we ended the period with our finances in a very healthy condition and it is intended that we continue with this model. 

We have been very grateful for the help and encouragement given to us by both Billingshurst Parish Council and by Horsham District Council, and we send them both our sincere thanks. 

Keith Witt, Gerry McAteer, Richard Melcio, Harvey Silverman.     Trustees.
