November 13th 2026 – recently there have been changes to our Board of Trustees:
Jim Hardy has resigned due to moving away from Ellon. Ronnie Gair has resigned due to the amount of time he is based in Shetland.
Thanks to Jim for his support of the last few years – especially for his fund raising and bike maintenance, and thanks to Ronnie for his general support and for his hard work in the garden. Ronnie is remaining a member and will continue his gardening work.
Their places on the Board have been taken by Jim Jones and Graham Moore. Thanks to Jim and Graham for stepping forwards to help.
ASSET TRANSFER
On 10th November we submitted a revised Asset Transfer Expression of Interest to Aberdeenshire Council. Prior to our current lease expiring in August 2030, we are wanting to:
- purchase the existing building and site
- acquire three additional small parcels of land to: allow space for expansion of indoor space, improve our car parking and to give access to Hospital Road.
We desperately need to increase our indoor space – our activities are now seriously constrained by workshop and social space limitations. This is limiting growth of the Men’s and Women’s Sheds and our community hub activities. If we are successful, we will, in the short term add extra portacabins and, in the long term, embark on a major building programme.
