A garden party for women is being held this Saturday by a Whaplode lady who is looking to launch a new group she’s called She Shed.
Pamela Medwren says she wants to open a ladies version of the Men in Sheds groups set up as an attempt to avoid loneliness where people can come together to learn skills and take part in activities together..
To raise awareness and funds she’s organising the garden party at her home on Saturday (June 23) where she hopes potential members will join her to discuss how the She Shed might evolve and the activities its members take part.
Pamela has visited the Long Sutton Men in Shed group to get ideas and says she will look to get the group doing a host of different activities at each session.
She said: “I’ve spoken to a few people already who are interested in the She Shed.
“We’d eventually like a place where we can meet every week and keep a lot of equipment at for those activities. That’s something the likes of the Women’s Institute don’t have and we’d like to work with groups like that as it progresses.
“To launch it now in the year of the 100th anniversary would be fitting, It would be a place where mum’s and their daughters could come together and learn crafts and techniques together.”
The party itself takes place between 2pm and 6pm at 1 Alms House Cottage, Whaplode, PE12 6LA.
