Hayling Island Men’s Shed: Spring
By Nik Nickerson from Hayling
Island Men’s Shed
WHAT a difference a day makes.
Yesterday was very wet, very windy
and it was very hard to work up
much enthusiasm for anything.
I can imagine today is feeling a
little bit better, outside enjoying
the sun, the daffodils, and lambs
skipping around the fields. So it
is in the Shed. A bit warmer (it’s a
metal shed), a bit brighter, and men
skipping around our workshop in
their shorts. Well, I have to see it
and therefore so do you.
As winter ends and Spring arrives
we start preparing for a new year of
activity and production.
The carpenters are making furniture for children, little chairs and
tables.
The art group are turning out
spring-themed creations. In the
engineering and design department,
new and unusual creations are being
prepared for our various donation
sales.
There are two groups that cannot be diverted from their chosen
course though. The wood turners
are still working all the hours available to them making a new propeller shaft for HMS Queen Elizabeth
(ha!) whilst the Shedders who meet
to play cribbage, and other games,
concentrate on new ideas with
which to bait their opponents.
It works, cribbage is now a designated blood sport in the Shed.
Hayling Island Men’s Shed wish
all our friends a happy spring, and if
you can manage a Spring holiday a
very relaxing break.
The Men’s Shed art group
You all deserve it.
