May Update.
We will have a stall in Westbury Gardens on “Join in Day” 10am to 3pm on Sat 6th June. Come down for a chat and see what we do. We will have some items for sale plus two old fashioned challenges
Since Feb the mixed bag of projects completed are:- The football Club fire exit doors, consisting of new push bars and replacing rotten wood (No photo). A refurbished side cabinet for one of our members, (before & after pics). The remaining Shortened Christ Church Pew sold. A New Altar Cross for Christ Church made from pew oak. This was CNC engraved thanks to a contact in Devon and a hanging rail for an occasional guest bedroom.
Also another bench was finished for the Council and this is now refitted in St Margaret’s Street near the united Church. Three more are in the renovation pipeline. Progress is steady but slow.
The photo with Mike in, caught him at the wrong moment, shows the end frames for the new Preservation Trust Bench and the office wall missing. Since Jan; Dave and Bernie + others have knocked the internal office down, this was just a junk store and removing it gives the Big Shed a more open feel.
