Men in Sheds





MEN IN SHEDS. St Paul's Church. Saturday, 28th September, 10.00am until 4pm
Refreshments on sale
Men in Sheds is associated with Age UK. They ask you to please donate your unwanted and broken, or just unwanted, tools. eg. Lawnmowers, electric drills, spades and forks and rakes and hoes, screwdrivers, scrapers, ride-on children's toys. They refurbish and sell the stuff, so you could walk in with some broken, useless things and, for a reasonable price, walk out with some replacements that actually work. Or just come along to find out more about this brilliant organisation. Maybe you'd like to join them? Or help out at their future visits to St Paul's?
