Barry’s Autumn Report
BUILDING PROGRESS.
The sheds first workshop is now functioning with all floor and walling completed. The guys have been building benches ‘for England’ and we now have a decent range of fixed power tools in place.
All the electrical circuit is finished and tested (many thanks to Pete Beeby) and most of the lighting is fitted (thanks to Cyril Jones)
Over 20 feet of layout table
David & Cameron have furnished us with all new work benches
FUNDING.
We continue to receive much needed and appreciated funding, with thanks to The National Lottery, Aviva Insurance, Masonic Lodge, Chosen Charity Shop, South Holland District Council.
Ray & Barry receive a donation from Chosen charity shop in Holbeach
SOCIAL EVENTS.
One enjoyable activity was a group trip to the Newark National Woodworking Show. Great day out and very useful when it came to deciding what tooling we might like (as against what we could afford).

THE SHEPHERD’S HUT.
We are building a mobile refreshments bar in the form of a traditional ‘shepherds hut’.
Early stages of the Shepherd’s Hut.
It’s a big project and we’ll post pictures of its progress towards completion.
Membership today is growing rapidly and we are working towards creating further workshop space and diversifying the available activities. So, if anybody is interested they should pop along, have a cuppa and check it out.
