During the year the majority of the donations received has been from repairing items including sale of wooden items at various open days and pop upshops. The Men's shed continues to make a healthy profit in difficult economic times and the future of the Shed is not in doubt.

As auditor of these accounts, it is a pleasure to do so. The records are precise and accurate.

You have a wonderful treasurer and he should be applauded for these records.

A defibrillator has been installed outside of the Shed and this must be seen as a great addition to the Shed.

I am pleased to sign off these accounts as accurate and correct.

	consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts and seeks
	explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken
	do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and, consequently, I do
	not express an audit opinion on the viewgiven bythe accounts.
