annual rent. They also support us in numerous other ways & have just made a

We haven’t lost many members this year but there has been a lot illnesses.
We endeavor to keep in contact with these members & it is good to see other
shedders willing to visit them to offer help & support to the immediate
family. These families have been astounded by the support offered by fellow
shedders
We have had numerous invitations to participate functions this year.
Some have just wanted us to be there to make up their numbers while others have
been too far away. We did however attend an aged well being event & have spread information about the Men’s
shed movement verbally & via editorials etc.
