Senior Saints Foundation
After a visit, a few years ago now, by representatives of the Senior Saints Foundation, at least three members of the shed club have become regular attenders at Senior Saints functions.
They provide sessions of moderate but continuous exercise which helps keep us fit, and there is tea or coffee afterwards, so there is also a social element. For those of us who go, it is an extremely valuable resource.
You have to be over 60 to go to Senior Saints, but some of our members are!

Yandles Sawmill
The club often visits Yandles (though it is a full day trip, being quite a distance from us). It is a working sawmill, and has a large range of wood for sale, as well as comprehensive tool and craft shops. There is also a good restaurant:
