It was a real honour to be invited to Aldridge Shed’s Open House and to be asked to cut the ribbon to officially open their new, larger ‘shed’. Aldridge Shed is a fabulous community focused organisation of like-minded men (and women) where practical skills meet great company. A place to make, mend and connect, where woodworking, model making, craft and sewing, plus plenty of tea, coffee, company and conversation are on offer.
I remember the Aldridge Shed first opening its doors back in June 2016, and since then it has grown steadily in size and membership, and also in terms of presence in the community having undertaken projects such as the Beacon, that is now on the High Street.
Thank you Mark, Ivor and everyone involved in Aldridge Shed – I wish you every continued success in your new premises and look forward to visiting again. And thank you Colin for taking the time to explain more about your guitar making.🎸
