Dave Tonner revealed his recently found hobby of vinyl cutting to embellish items of clothing and crockery. He asked for an electronic copy of the logo design which was forwarded on the internet.

Wishing you well with the Norton Project! I fully endorse what you are hoping to achieve more than ever with the restrictions that are part of our lives.
Community involvement and interaction is more important than ever. We cannot allow the lost souls that have nothing or nobody in their lives become “Voices in the Wilderness “
Colin E, Larpool Whitby
An article about Colin’s experience of Covid-19, lockdowns and the way he could so easily have been a voice in the wilderness himself has been sent to Whitby Gazette. Colin is a great supporter of Sheds and he will be at the opening of Norton Men’s Shed in due course.
