The Mens shed support the local Summer and Christmas Goose fairs and won ‘best stall’ at the summer fair where the Worshipful the Mayor of Runnymede awarded a prize. The 2024 Christmas Goose Fair will be supported by members selling home made festive products. Outside of the shed friendship groups have formed and in the summer they organised a day out on an adapted boat to the Isle of Wight taking one of the wheelchair users and his father.
They regularly look out for each other and recently our 93 year old member was stuck in Cornwall and one member took the train there to help him come home. After a hospital admission, shed members visited our wheelchair user and they are looking forward to welcoming him back in Jan 25. This Christmas, the shed members and some of the trustees are having a celebratory dinner together in a local pub. To top the year, one shed member won best new volunteer at the Runnymede Volunteer awards, hosted by the Mayor and beating 5 other nominees.
