Chairmans Report Year September 1st/23 t
August31sU 24
The year has been eventful in some ways, the main event being the
to expand our shed.
Since it's inceptioy we have been operating under the restrictive condltions.
Firstly in the building shared with Wisecraft in Blairgowrie, followed by
moving to 1, High Street. Although this building has been kindly loane
without charge we have still have had to bear he costs of both electriclty and
building insurance. All the time lurking in the background the knowledge that
we could be asked to leave at any time. This occupation has not been the
easiest due in part to lack of space. We have also put up with the basement
flooding soaking our meagre timber store, but also water ingress to our
workshop ceiling. This has meant a less than comfortable experience during
the cold Scottish winters. Space has also been very restricted in both the
social area and the workshop.

Much discussion has taken place on how WO
could improve our lot. After many enquiries a plot
of land was identified as a possible site for our
use, but it was just that, a piece of Land. We
investigated the prospect of erecting a simplp
X building but at approximately three hundred
thousand pounds for the building only which was
out of our reach.
However, as we were investigating this possibility another
building near by came to our attention, The Old Granary.
Not the most inspirational building from the outside, but
the inside space could have been designed for Shed
activities. The bonus is that it is in good structural order
and much more affordable at under one hundred thousancl.
freehold.
Following discussions with our
members it was decided that we should
move towards taking ownership of the building, the
wheels were set in motion, and plans drawn up.
Ownership gives us the advantage of security of tenure
and enables us to secure our future.

Otherwise little else took place other than the usual repair, crafting and
putting the rest of the world to rights during our regular Tuesday evenings.
The Thursday afternoon meetings stopped due to lack of interest, but the
alternate weeks of Sheddybrek carried on with enthusiasm.
In July we were invited to take a p[itch at an outdoor
fund raising event at the Cycle hub. We opted to
provide smash burgers. The event was well attended
but in spite of all the hard and hot work of our
volunteers, we made no profit. Looking at the bright
side we learned a lot from this our first effort and
certainly met many people, which raised awareness
of the Shed.
A good evening was enjoyed by all with the final meeting of the year taking
the form of a Christmas dinner at the Blackbird Inn at Alyth.
Financially we recovered well from the remnants of Covid and are managing
to cover our own costs now that membership is expanding.
Thanks to all those who have put in a great effort with fundraising, I will not
name individuals, but the leading members know who you are. I will mention
that the Charity shop sales have proved most rewarding and continue to be
so on a twice yearly basis.
We welcome all new members and with the planned expansion the hope is
that many more will follow. To this end we will be changing our identity by re
registering as the Blairgowrie District Community Shed thereby showing that
we are open to all rather than exclusively men. The Mens Shed will be
incorporated into the organisational changes.
We look forward to the challenges of the coming year which we hope will
ive reco
nition and strength to the future of our group.

Treasurers Report to August 31 st 2024
The year has built on our strengths financially, not only are we proving tts be
self supporting by covering our expenses but we are managing a profit,,
A large proportion of our income has come from donations from variou
sources, in some cases repairs and services to the public and in some Irom
the generosity of those who support the work and benefits we do towaKIs
our main objectives of a Mens Shed.
By far the largest portion of income is proceeds from the twice yearly sales
at the Charity Shop. Thanks to all who collected goods to sell and to those
who's hard work running the shop makes it such a success. Not liking t¢
name individlials who put in the good work, I make one exception, that being
to
who heads up the organisation of the sale, shifts the stpck
and makes sure ive have plenty to sell.
Electricity continues to be an unavoidably expensive overhead although we
have done our utmost to reduce the expense by changing provider, we
should, hopefully be able to keep the expense to affordable levels by
judicious use and by using energy saving appliances whenever possible.
During the latter part of the year and with the prospect of moving to larger
premisses you will have noticed that vehicle hire is shown. This enabled us
to take advantage of am scheme that provides excess furniture and
equipment. The cost to us is just the hi￿ charge, fuel and volunteer time,
This represents a good investment in resources and a very good return, an
example would be obtaining more than suff icient carpet tiles for the sitti
area of the new building plus replacement chairs and tables saving us
literally thousands of pounds.
We start the next period with a healthy bank balance for a membership o
our size. The coming year will be a challenge as we move forward to
expansion. but wilh good management and a bit of luck we can secure the
future of our Mens Shed for
ears to come.
