Morning Shedfriends,
Hope this finds you well … busy week in the shed with us supporting the Royal British Legion in a number of poppy-related activities … you can see these below in our previous posts.
Thanks first of all to Maree Fiddler who rocked up with four big packets of Lancashire crisps for us … we are stocking up for winter
22 Shedders in attendees for our usual Tuesday shindig and lots going on
We finished the last of the Halloween lanterns … we still have two left for sale but once they are gone they are gone … reply below if you are interested and we can arrange for you to take possession of these highly prized articles … just £15 each
Andy B, Anthony, Chairman John, Mile Marsh & Tigger installed a new British Legion-inspired bench on the Green near Verdes Restaurant … Then they recruited John H and picked up some aluminium section that will be used to fabricate the cover for the steam pump from Dave Lawson … Many thanks for this … Then our intrepid team re-sited the litter bin on the green to allow folk to get a better view of the steam pump when it is unveiled
Phil Scout started tidying up in the garden, blowing leaves about and suchlike … there was some talk of a compost heap which is very exciting if you are a male of a certain age
Tigger assumed responsibility for fixing a puncture in Wally Foster’s bicycle tyre … much help and advice was dispensed from those in the cheap seats.
There were others … thanks team … we all had a really good day
Bill brought savouries (sausage rolls & pork pies) which were quickly devoured by the assembled horde … Thanks also to Kevin Miller who rocked up with shortbread
All this nutrition meant we needed liquid refreshment so we dispatched Phil T on a milk mission as supplies were running low
The round table has been replaced by a rectangular table … this makes much better use of the available space but there were those who were not best pleased … I personally am all for respecting tradition but you cannot stand in the way of progress (I’m sure we have not heard the end of the table saga … watch this space)
Discussion around the new rectangular table centred around electric cars (again), Spam fritters and opal mining in Australia
In other news we will be occupying a table at the The Original Farmers Arms, Eccleston Table Top sale on November 7th selling surplus tools and previewing the wooden goodies we will be making for Xmas
Also coming shortly is our shiny new website which is currently being given a makeover ... watch this space for details regarding its launch
If you fancy some fun and games like the above, feel free to join us at the Shed on a Tuesday morning for a brew and a chat.
Lastly, as always, please feel free to like, comment and share this post so we can spread the shedding word.
