A NEWLY formed men’s shed group in Coleford is already making its mark with community projects and plans for further restoration work.

Among their first achievements, the Coleford Shedders treated a shed for the charity Time is Precious in memory of Ben Halford and restored a donated pillar drill, giving new life to neglected equipment.

Looking ahead, the Shedders are preparing to take on the restoration of the commemorative gates for the parish council, a project that will further showcase their craftsmanship and community spirit.

The group meets Tuesdays at The Hub, Church Road, Coleford, from 10am to 12.30pm. New members are welcome — whether handy with tools or seeking good company.
