BILLINGSHURST MEN'S SHED TRUSTEES REPORT 2024- 2025 The year has been dominated by our ef forts to get a second shed to act as a wood and f inished jobs store. Havin9 obtained the relevant permissions f rom both Parish and District councils we f inally decided upon purchasin9 a log cabin style garage, f or which we had agreed a grant the previous year. As the garage had no f loor, we had to construct some piers to make a level base. After delivery of the building we commenced its assembly. followed by construction and waterproof in9 of the roof. We then fabricated o f loor to make the building complete. Painting the outside f ollowed. We then started painting the inside which is now almost complete. The next stages are to construct some racking inside. and to lay some hardstanding outside our double doors. Regarding membership numbers we retained the main body of the members of the Shed. but a few did not renew, and a f ew new faces joined us. on balance we were a handf ul down. A concerted ef f ort may be needed in the next period to advertise and recruit more members. When we started we were given permission to stay on our site f or 5 years bef ore granting of a lease for us would be considered. We are now 3 years into that period. and apart f rom a parking problem, now thankf ully resolved, we can think of no reason why that lease should not be granted. We are still without a permanent Secretary in place, so eff orts must continue to f ill this rol
Our f inances continue to be sound. and our operating model seems to be successful. The donations f rom members have been unchanged since we began so we retain the ability to raise them if it is deemed necessary. In addition, we have a surplus of tools that we could Use to create extra funds. We are of course always available to do repairs and accept other tasks. During the yeor we changed our electricity supplier to Octopus energy. This proved to be a very worthwhile change and resulted in our electricity expenditure almost halving. We attended 3 outside events during the year. These were the Billingshurst Christmas Fayre. the Billingshurst Showcase. in the springtime and the Billingshurst Show. in mid-summer. All 3 of these were prof itable and raised our prof ile locally. Last year we disposed of a lot of scrap wood by of f ering it as kindling. This was very worthwhile and we intend to repeat this exercise again this winter. There are a f ew things that need addressing regardin9 our workshop. These are to replace our delaminating shuttering on windows and doors and building a permanent step at the rear door of the building. These jobs are to be attended too in the near f uture.
