Trustees Annual Re ort 2024 This is the first AGM of Buckle Men's Shed. With a bit of arm twisting, we formed a committee on the 9th March 2023. We were at that time meeting in the Fishermen's Hall, this was funded through the Peoplehood Project, who granted us funding for 20 weeks, taking us up to 6th July. In May we had secured premises The premises were in a state of disrepair and would need a considerable amount of work and money to get them to an operational stage. We managed to get Graws recycling to donate the use of skips to get the rubbish cleared to give us a starting point and find out the true condition of the premises. We discovered the floor in the part we wanted to use as workshops was totally rotten and we would need to replace the floor, as part of the roof was asbestos, we would need to replace that and get rid of all the asbestos from the site. (we couldn't get any insurance while we still had asbestos) We did however manage to start meeting in the better half of the building on 13th July. First on the agenda was to create a kitchen area so we could get a cup of tea. We then created a small meeting room. We got a door donated by North East Windows for the end of the lane to High Street. and we got them to replace our doors into the Shed and replace the windows. We have now got a lowered suspended ceiling, so hopef ully it will be easier to heat. Today we have had the asbestos part of the roof removed ready for a new insulated profiled roof to be fitted, hopef ully starting tomorrow. Around mid-April we are getting a concrete floor laid so once that is completed, we should be able to start on creating our workshops.
None of this would have been possible without funding, so I would like to thank the following organisations for their funding and donations:_ Fundin Gordon & Ena Baxter Foundation, Beatrice Field, The national Lottery Community Fund, The Robertson Trust. and the CO-OP. Donations Baxterfs Staff Fund, The BB'S, Boda Flowers, Buckle Community Shop, Buckpool Golf Club Ladies Section, Buckle Welfare, Buckle Thistle, Buckle Community Choir, House of Hair Fashion, Buckle High School, Buckle Glitter Ball Group, Portessie Hall,& SFL Department Buckle High School donated our electric distribution box and cabling and thanks to for the many donations of tools, also thanks to the Portessie Hall for the donation of a Disabled Toilet. I would like to thank for all the help she has given us during the year, with completing our funding applications. She has a vast experience in this area, and without her help we may not of had the approved applications that we had. During last year wo 3SSiStod th@ SFI Department 3t Bucki@ High School to erect a polytunnel and tidy up a couple of areas of school grounds. We assisted Buckles Roots with dismantling a damaged Gazebo, and we made a dog station for Wm Mair Funeral Directors. This year we have been asked to make a mud kitchen for Millbank Nursery, a wood store for Millbank primary. help with the erection of a shed for the SFL department at Buckle High School and tidy up an area at Seafield Hospital for Friends of Seafield.
We are having a coffee morning in the North Church Hall on Saturday 20th April at 9.30am so hoping for a good turn out there. There will be a bottle stall, so any bottles would be greatly appreciated, please let as many people know as you can. I would like to thank the committee for their assistance, and all our members who have put in a tremendous amount oftime and effort into the work that we have done. We have come a long way in a short space of time, and for me It has been a great honour and privilage to have served as the first chairman of Buckle Men's Shed. natur Si nature Name Name Position Chairnian Posltion Vice Chairman Date 2710312024 Date 27103n024
