The Crib Room
Each day, members gather in the crib room to enjoy a hot cuppa and a biscuit during their morning tea.
This daily ritual not only provides a refreshing break but also offers an opportunity for members to connect and socialise as they chat and share a laugh.
A shared computer with internet access is available in the crib room for members to use.

Shed Safety
Safety in the shed is of utmost importance; therefore, training is mandatory for each machine that a member intends to use, regardless of their previous experience. A shed supervisor is also present during all working sessions.
