Bordon Men's Shed

So, after the installation of our ex-site cabins on land behind the Phoenix Theatre, Bordon, we have been transferring our tools and machinery, including benches into the new area. Howdens of Bordon were kind enough to give us 50% discount on 6 new wall cupboards which have been mounted on the wall. We also have offers of tools and equipment fomr Wickes of Alton. Watch this space for developments! This is the two site cabins joined together with a bridging tunnel, all supplied and installed by Wernicks of Farnham.

All donations gratefully received to help Men's mental health. I raised £815 last year, let's see if I can beat that.

After a site visit today by Wernicks, the new cabins will be delivered on time. All jacking points are on tarmac, which makes life easier. Then the work begins to move our tools and equipment from various points around the parish into the cabins. That will need sorting into some semblance of order, which will happen in the week beginning 20th October. It will be a while before we are fully operational, and then as the title says 'All Systems Go'.

Bordon Men's Shed was commissioned by Selborne Primary School, Selborne, to construct a 'mud' kitchen for use by the children. Their previous mud kitchen had fallen into disrepair and was falling apart and becoming dangerous. We took on the project and collected wood from various sources, including projects in the neighbourhood that gave up their spare materials. We also found a stainless steel sink that was going spare and utilised that....

Bordon Men's Shed was commissioned by Selborne Primary School, Selborne, to construct a 'mud' kitchen for use by the children. Their previous mud kitchen had fallen into disrepair and was falling apart and becoming dangerous. We took on the project and collected wood from various sources, including projects in the neighbourhood that gave up their spare materials. We also found a stainless steel sink that was going spare and utilised that. The result was very pleasing, and it was delivered to Selborne Primary on Friday, 26th September. The staff were thrilled and couldn't wait for the children to see it and be able to play with it. We also installed a funnel and tube to connect to the sink taps so that the water could be turned on and off. I'm sure the children of Selborne will have many happy hours playing with it. It joins the sandpit covers and the hanging fixture, which were also constructed by Bordon Men's Shed. The pictures show (1) in place at Selborne School and (2) outside the Men's Shed temporary home.

EHDC have now awarded Bordon Men's Shed the long-awaited grant, so we are now in the process of placing an order for two site cabins for delivery, it is hoped, by the end of September. Then the hard work starts to furnish them and get them operational.

23/08/2025

We are on the cusp of being awarded a grant from EHDC to buy a new workshop for the Mens Shed. By September, we should be in a position to position the two site cabins which will form the Mens Shed. This is typical of a project we could undertake.
