FROME’S new Women’s Shed had a successful public meeting, which was attended by over 80 people, and the group has canvassed people’s comments about timing and interests.
The Frome Women’s Shed will commence running weekly, starting on Monday 21st May in the Remakery, Welshmill Hub.
Ros Whitehouse said, “Anyone wanting, just for example, to build, saw, hammer, paint, sew, chat, drink tea and/or make friends is welcome!
“This Shed is for every woman, whatever your level of skill, or lack of it; it’s about working together, pooling skills to work things out, and relaxing with a cuppa whenever that’s what’s needed.
“The annual membership is £5, and the session fee is £3, (though this can be waived where necessary).
“We plan to follow the Men’s Shed’s fine example, and also be useful in the community, so if any community group needs a job doing, do call on us and we’ll call on the talents of our members to do what’s needed, whether it’s painting, sewing , upholstering, making benches, sign making, repairs etc. All community tasks considered – there’s nothing lost by asking!
“Monday mornings from 9.00am – 1.00pm are the session times, but there is a desire to get evening sessions going in due course, so if that’s what you need, then get in touch, as we’ll need your support to make this happen.
“Keep an eye on the Frome Women’s Shed Facebook page for the time being, for more details and any date changes.
“Looking forward to meeting you!”
