This weekend was the Festival of Thrift. It is a massive free event for visitors drawn from near and far. Whitby and Redcar Sheds worked together with Royal Voluntary Service and UK Men’s Shed Association to promote the well-being benefits of Sheds.
Take a look at some of the snaps, including Ruby the demonstration dog for the snuffle mats!

Ready for SAMS engagement with the High Sheriff’s Dragon’s Den, we have secured support from Saint George. Alan, a new Staithes Shedder, made a fretted plaque depicting the the scene. Alan is to teach the rest of us some of his skills..
