A MEMBER OFTHE / SCOrnSH MIM'S SMIDS A550CIATION Any other competent business (AOCB) FN asked for an update on the Woodshed Woodshed floor is rotting and needs urgently replaced, one section has been concreted, but the rest needs finished using rhino board offcuts, FOC from one clients. A saving of £20(K). Hoping to finish for January. The walls are also leaking, so they need to be opened up to find and repair the leak. This likely caused the rot. Will need to buy materials to paint and seal the roof and replace the rotting boards. Needs insulating and made watertight. The number of members stand at 62, 6 dropped out over the last year, 4 of them in response to email sent out about AGM Agenda, but numbers are up from the 44 we had last year. Thanks to everyone for the hard work that went into our open day earlier this year from baking to woodwork and other arts and crafts- we have another open day on 6112125 and hope to do as well, this time sellin8 soup and a roll instead of doing a BBQ. Thanks to everyone involved in creating and delivering examples of their own/our CMS work for the display in the library over the last 2 weeks to raise our profile in Carluke. Everything needs collecting on Monday $0 we Can price up the items that are going to be for sale at our open day on Saturday. Ladles Nlght-thanks to all involved in creating the arts and crafts that have beenlgoing to be sold at our upcoming open day. Special thanks to (not a membor) for donating a vast amount of equiprnent and materials for our use. It fills the pantry and needs sorting out, but once it is sortedWI is happy for us to sell any material/equipment we can't use, as long as it helps fund out CMS. Thanks also to for donation of Tartan material, some of the products made from this will be on sale at our open day on Saturday. Many thanks to for keeping us all refuelled and refreshed with hot drinks and biscuits so our artistic and creative members can use their knttting, sewing, crocheting, pom-pom making •1 and woodworking skills to create items we can sell to help toward the upkeep of our shed and our CMS community. asked to say a few words and to discuss trips out and fund raising. Requesting we arrange a Golf day as suggested in last yearfs minutes. has organised the Motherwell FC bucket collection again this year and, also asked Tesco re doing a bag packing session and asked for 7 members to help with this. Advised that these points will be answered as this inupdate under AOB, still to be reported below.

All paperwork with members personal data is locked in the filing cabinet in the committee room, so members personal data such as on membership forms can only be used in accordance with the members wishes and only for use by the committee on CMS business. The information is removed from the files and from any other record when we are informed a member has left CMS. We have also updated the email address used for CMS from a private email as used last year, to to comply with GDPR. This is to ensure when a committee member leaves the committee that the password to the email/files are changed and they lose access to this private data. Members names are no longer on the noticeboard e.g. for trips out – just let a committee member know if you want to be added to any trip. Our websiteis up and running now and has current opening times, activities and contact details as well as advertising our open day on Saturday. A few minor updates will be added next week. Asked for volunteers to help with our social media accounts to help with the website/ Face Book page content and keeping this up to date. is the admin of our current FB page as it is linked to his personal page. Thanks to all our members for their contributions to our community and shed, whether that is social (nattering and eating biscuits), being creative and artistic, carrying out work to help our local community and schools, or playing pool in the games room. We appreciate your contribution to our community of shedders. Trips -In response to earlier questions regarding trips next year and fundraising, we have discussed as a Committee that we are happy to arrange trips out for members where there is enough interest, (eg we didn’t do Ratho again this year as there wasn’t enough interest) but we also need to consider cost, whether costs are refundable or not if members cancel, as well as the time needed to arrange the trips. No response to the request for members to help to organise trips at the meeting, but since then has volunteered to help with this – thank you this is much appreciated. Suggestions so far includeGlasgow Central Station Tour, Biggar Museum, Aviation Museum at Dumfries – please let anyone on the Committee know of any other suggestions to consider/arrange. Various other trips were suggested by members for last year, that didn’t go ahead due to cost/time to arrange the trips and reasons for decline fed back to the members who made the request. Fundraising Activities Motherwell FC bucket collection– arranged by this is in hand, the date given by Motherwell FC is not until March, so necessary paperwork will be completed by the time it is required and volunteers asked for nearer the time. Tesco bag packing- there weren’t enough volunteers for this to be worth |

A MEMBER OFTHE / SCOrnSH MIM'S SMIDS A550CIATION arranging with Tesco's. The general feeling is that is physically demanding and none of us are getting any younger. Grant applications- Several grants were applied for last year and we were only funded for the Raising Awareness of CMS grant, which has been fully spent on Office equipment and paying for the Website design and maintenance for 18 months. Other grant applications were declined as we did not meet the crtteria for being awarded the grants. Each grant applied for needs to have a fully costed project which matches the criteria set by the awarding body, EG the mental health awareness grant is specifically for counselling/speakers around Mental Health (MH) issues/MH I, aid courses and cannot be used for days out for our members. We did have 2 members signed up for a 2 day MH I, aid course held locally but had to pull out as l of the days was today. This can be rearranged, and we can get further funding if others are interested in completing this. We now have contacts in the NHS who will provide some Health/MH talks so no longer need to apply for more funding for Mental Health and Wellbeing. EG will arrange for talks next year regarding falls prevention in th8 new year; we have nurses that work in MH and addiction teams that will discuss these topics with us. Please let us know if there are any topics you would like covered and we can arrange for them to visit. they do not have access to your health records, so cannot discuss individual cases with you. suggested another local group that we may want to exchange visits with is Fool On Wishaw. They are a local MH charity offering weekly workshops across Lanarkshire offering free guitar, singing, songwriting and stand-up comedy sessions. This could help with our music room development, so agreed we will agree a date andWI will liaise with fool On to visit us. We tried to get 1st aid training for our members through St ATrdres as recommended bvlll as this is supplied by volunteers for a donation. But have been unable to get a volunteer on any of the dates we requested. They will update us when a volunteer becomes available, or we can look at an alternative trainer that may charge a fee. This will be looked at again next year. We applied for a grant for a ramp at the kitchen fire escape door so that members who use a walker or wheelchair can use this exit if needed, but this was declined as other projects met the awarding bod¢s criteria more closely. In addition to matching the criteria for awarding a grant, we often need to submit our accounts, bank statements and current bank balance. Our bank balance is still relatively healthy as can be seen on the copy of the signed off accounts for this year. We do not have any major projects in progress that need major Outgoing costs: unlike when the building needed repaired and prepared for opening up as CMS or solar panels. It takes a lot of time and effort to cost grant application, to prepare and submtt the information, so we have decided Template supplied by the Scottish Men's Sheds Association (SMSA)
A MEMBER OFTHE / SCOrnSH MIM'S SMIDS A550CIATION as a committee to only apply for grants when we strongly match the criteria set, to give us a better chance of being awarded a grant. the raising awareness grant was awarded because it met the criteria. Ongolng projects These are being successfully managed without applying for grant funding and includes our woodshed mentioned above. It could easily have cost several £IOO(Ys and has cost very little in comparison, due to getting a lot of the materials needed donated. The ladies night project had a lot of materials and equipment donated since starting up earlier this year, so no funding needed forthis either at present. This also means we are reducing waste and landfill as well as repurposinyJreusing/recycling/upcycling donated materials and getting new (to us) facilities whilst improving our environment. Update since the meetingWI has had a donation of a greenhouse and this will be replacing our damaged greenhouse next year. Isuggested anothèr local group that we may want to exchange visits with is Fool On Wishaw they offer Weekly workshops across Lanarkshire offering free guitar, singing, songwriting and stand-up comedy sessions There were no fvrther commentslquestions from members at this point.
