We were offered the opportunity to provide a blog on our cancer doings by Cancer Care Map and it has landed on their site:

Great news – your blog is now live on our site! You can view it here:
We want to encourage more Sheds to reach out to include men with cancer. Reaching out is simply saying welcome.
Remember, Remember, Movember

Being As One (in Whitby)
That’s the title of Whitby’s Digital Champion project, part of North Yorkshire’s digital inclusion drive.
We are working with Whitby (Aidan) because we also have an equivalent inclusion project “6 Over Six”.
Yesterday Paul and Graham were in Whitby to meet a Thirsk project who is soon embarking on 2D printing and design.
They are coming to Norton soon and Paul may be on a missionary journey to them for 3D printing too.
It’s two-way trading, because they are doing other things that we are contemplating involving vinyl cutting with CriCut devices.
Working with other “leaders of projects” means we learn quicker and are sooner able to cascade the learning through the ranks.
Under Whitby Shed banner Graham attended an online session about Mental Health and Mental Illness delivered by old friend Sophie Hall, CEO of Scarborough, Whitby, Ryedale MIND. We will be getting the very detailed presentation to ponder on on this site and probably released on our Facebook page and onto Norton Village Facebook.
Graham trained many years ago with MIND and qualified as a volunteer, though he worked independently in the Shed movement with the training. Sophie and Whitby worked on a couple of small joint projects about 8 years ago and she has been a willing adviser on some situations the Sheds came across.
There is a Teesside MIND that we have had small contact with, but maybe it is time to say “hello” to them.
Gordon’s braille typewriter!
Paid Gordon a social visit today.
We intend to video how this works and also how he unwraps the content of letters arriving in the post.
Next up, the WW1 Tank makes an unusual way to the frontline of the Children and Young people’s Remembrance Service at Norton Sports Charity

Remembering Colin
We have learned that Shedder Colin who came to the Shed for company and the lathe has passed away after a short illness.
Colin was an engineer of the old school. Turning his hand at home to things mechanical and wood in his downstairs workshop.
He was a great fan in retirement of Meccano and brought in his mine elevator model with electronic cut offs when the cage reached top and bottom.
Above all Colin was a character. He loved conversation and the ceremony of putting on his overalls and later removing them. Sometimes the two processes merged! A lovely man.
