This is a special thanks to John Thorogood who has worked tirelessly to build spirit and momentum with the fantastic team we have at The Knighton Men's Shed.
He was invited to attend the House of Lords for a ceremony, hosted by Baroness Tanni Grey-Thomson to celebrate being Shortlisted for the UKMSA Shed of the Year 2023 award! Simon Gill accompanied.
Here's John's note:
"Thank you everyone for your supportive replies. I am made up that such a small Shed in our rural location can.make the final 3 nominations for Community Shed of the Year. It must indicate something. Simon and I are so proud to accept this ward on behalf of our fantastic members who gel together like strawberries & cream. Love you loads guys this is all about it's you who make the Shed what it is - John Thorogood"
