Martinborough Mens’ Shed
Great activity continues at the Martinborough Mens’ shed. Over the last few weeks we have undertaken a wide range of activities. These have included:
- Refurbishment and donation of bikes to local schools and early childhood centres. To date over 90 bikes have been donated, largely to those youngsters who would have struggled to acquire one.
- We held successful fundraising stalls in both the fairs. These included goods made by members and also selling some surplus equipment. Thank you to Daphne Geisler who generously made her premises available for this.
- Our very popular speaker series, for March, featured Scotty the butcher who arrived with a sizeable lamb, (not running around). He demonstrated superb knife skills resulting in different cuts of meat. All attendees learnt a lot, enjoyed barbequed lamb as well as great entertainment, with many of the cuts sold off. We have received much positive feedback on Scotty’s session. Well done Colin Hadley for the inspiration.
Reminder of ongoing services available. These include tool and knife sharpening, repairs to many and varied items. Weekly hours are 10-12 on both Wednesday and Saturday.
The Mens’ Shed membership has a great and diverse range of skills available that can be deployed to many and varied projects.
The AGM will be held on Saturday April 21 at 10.00 am. We are keen to have a strong attendance and hear from as many members as possible.
