Please find attached a copy of our newsletter for disbursement to your members.

PS Graham thinks this was the Shed where the lady minibus driver’s father went near Warrangul. In a recent Aussie blog here.
A visitor staying with one of our Whitby Shedders liked what he heard about WHIMS and decided he would go back to his village in Lincolnshire (~4,000 residents) and try to start a Shed. He knows there is no Shed there and has begun to look (in his mind) for premises.
We’ve offered to help with early advice and to put him in contact with “our” Kate Gordon at UK Men’s Shed Association.
