Too hot to be working outside today so inside workshop jobs only, but we still got a lot done.
Bug boxes cut out for the site and prep for for next Client support day, June 25th.
The table top market stall for OT head office.
Prep for the Orchard Trust fete, including carving door numbers and activity wood slices.
The clients enjoyed a session making some of the wood slice animals, especially the hammering!
Thanks for the great turn out today.

It is with great sadness that we say goodbye to Paul Head, and send our heartfelt condolences to Barbara.
Paul was a founder member of our Shed, and a Director for 6 years.
The history: On August 29th 2017 seven people sat around a table at The Rising Sun, Moseley Green and discussed the Men’s Sheds initiative. They were Paul Head, Sam Phillips, Geoff Trout, Jane Trout, Dave Leopold, Ray Winstone and George Maller. They decided it would be a great idea to set up a community group for the elderly, isolated and vulnerable, for both men and women, providing workshop activities.
At the first session, on the 7th September, the directors were voted in and Paul, in his absence, as our first chairman! He never forgave the other directors.
Paul was instrumental in driving the group forward and was passionate about the worth of The Shed.
He never made much but was always seen with a cup of coffee in his hand and a smile on his face.
