Thanks to all the new members who attended this evening.
Colin welcomed the new members and it was great to see 16 people attend for what was a meeting full of content and information.

NEW PROJECTS
Whilst the shed planning is continuing members have workshops and sheds that could be used for projects. This idea was inspired by Richard’s own workshop and fantastic space which was visited by members and was a great day.

Neil is completing planters and might need help constructing in time of Dalmally Show.

DALMALLY SHOW 05th SEPTEMBER
Volunteers to man the stall are needed as a matter of urgency. If you can give up an hour or two it will spread the responsibility. Mark cannot assist due to his commitments at the OACT stall within the community tent but has organised the stall booking and will have passes delivered shortly for those able to assist at the Mens Shed stall.

CHARITY STATUS
Neil has submitted application for charitable status and this should be approved within 100 days.

Colin tendered his resignation as chairman agreeing to remain in post in name only and was thanked for his work in establishing the men’s shed and how far it has progressed in less than a year.

Next meeting will be our one year anniversary BBQ at Marks with details to follow.
