Next Coffee morning St. Peters Church Carlton Colville featuring Carlton Colville Men's Shed

10/10/2026

Well… we’ve only gone and done it!
Carlton Colville Men’s Shed has officially survived its first year without blowing a fuse, losing a member, or accidentally nailing anyone to a workbench. And to top it off, we’ve just held our first AGM — with actual decisions, actual roles, and only minimal confusion. A miracle.

The shed build is now almost complete — which is impressive considering we started with a patch of ground, a pile of timber, and a group of men who can’t agree on the best brand of tea bags. But somehow, through teamwork, stubbornness, and the occasional “that’ll do”, we’ve created a workshop we’re genuinely proud of.

At the AGM we elected a full committee, approved our policies, confirmed our safety roles, and even managed to keep the meeting under two hours. If that’s not professionalism, we don’t know what is.

To celebrate, here’s a short video showing just how far we’ve come — and how much fun we’ve had along the way.

🏆 Who’s the person who makes your Shed what it is?

Last year, Robert Taylor from Medway men in sheds was named Shedder of the Year.

Registered blind and living with significant health challenges, Rob first found his Shed when he needed connection and support himself. Over time, he became one of the people others could rely on.

From research, fundraising and admin to checking in on members, mentoring others and simply being there when someone needs him, Rob’s contribution reaches into almost every part of Shed life.

Chances are, there’s a Rob in your Shed too.

Someone who quietly goes above and beyond. Who notices when someone hasn’t turned up. Who shares their skills, keeps things moving, makes the tea, sorts the problem or makes sure everyone feels welcome.

This is your chance to make sure their contribution doesn’t go unnoticed.

Nominations for Shedder of the Year are open as part of the UK Men’s Sheds Awards 2026 – alongside awards celebrating Community Projects, Partnerships, Health and Wellbeing, the Armed Forces community, Green Sheds, Heritage & History and more.

So whether there’s a brilliant Shedder who deserves a thank you, or a project your whole Shed is proud of, tell us about it.

⏰ Nominations close at midnight on Sunday 27 September.

Don’t assume someone else will nominate them… 👀
