Social Events

Through the year the Shed organises a number of social events including talk and fish and chip supper evenings at the Cowplain Activity Centre.

BBQ on the First Friday of every month at 12:00 - All welcome, it's a good time for non-members to visit the shed to see if you would like to join.

The two  annual events are the summer family BBQ and Christmas Lunch.

In addition a number of trips or social events are held throughout the year. The last social event of 2024 will be the  Christmas Lunch, 6th December. The list of attendees is now closed and final arrangements are now in hand. A couple of notes:-

a. Venue: Cowplain Activity Centre, Date 6th December, Time 1200 for 1230

b. Christmas Lunch financial arrangements. It was agreed at the 2024 AGM that for future lunches the membership criteria for WMS funded lunch would be those who are fully paid up members as at 1st October of each year plus partners. There will be a leeway to pay membership fees for this year only as an exception rather than the rule, so the final closing date will be end of October for this year only. Those members paying any later and new members joining would still be able to attend but at their own cost for them and their partners.

c. We will be holding a raffle again this year. Any prize donations will be gratefully received and a receptacle will be placed in the galley to receive them.

Ho Ho Ho!

2024 is also the 10th anniversary of our opening and it is hoped to celebrate this in some way during the year. Again watch for Newsletters or emails and any notice published on the Website.

We are happy to organise any occasion or trip members feel may be of interest to others.

The ladies

The wives, partners, girlfriends also meet on an occasional basis away from the Shed, and take part in all our social activities if they wish to.
