We are delighted to inform you that the concrete slab is on its way. Work begins on Monday 11th March. For this exciting development we must thank or friends EKFB who have for the sub-contractors execute the work. EKFB has been a staunch supporter of our efforts over the last few months, including the previously cleared site of dead trees and removal of tree stumps.

We need your help to mark out the cleared site! Now that our site at EWG is cleared, it is time to define exactly where we want the two concrete slabs that will support our sheds will go. Thanks to the efforts of a couple of our members, several weeks ago, we were able to mark out the general area and show which trees would need to be removed. After that we had to wait for HW Martin, on behalf of HS2, to bring in the men and machinery to clear the ground. Now that is done the next step is place pegs and tape so that the foundations can be poured to the right size and in the right orientation. I am asking for volunteers who can spare a couple hours assisting me to undertake the job. I plan for it to happen one afternoon next week. Please contact me, Chick Parkinson: Email: parkin@flash.net 07931 255 562 WhatsApp Group – MIS Brackley. Looking forward to hearing from you.

MISSION STATEMent
The commitment is to build a Men in Sheds workshop in Brackley and join the family of the 600 Sheds in the UK.
Men in Sheds was established to create a space where men and women of all ages and abilities can gather to undertake projects for the local community, themselves, or just meet like-minded individuals. In doing so people, who otherwise might be isolated, or feel excluded will find a welcoming community to accept them, their skills, and have them teach or learn new ones.
As most participants will likely have some sort of woodworking knowledge (however basic) the aim is initially to establish a workshop concentrating on those activities. Once it is up and running it will be up to the members to decide the direction Brackley MIS will take. It will also be a support for members, and the community by working with local volunteer organizations, Repair Cafes and the like, to carry out projects for the benefit of Brackley and its residents.
