Vic’s Coffin .
Vic Allen past away last week. The family asked if we could make his coffin in the shed ,which we were pleased to help. AIS were very helpful in donating some very good quality pine boards and after a couple of days of hard work we had it finished .
Vic was a founder member of our shed and was also a trustee for that time . He had a lot to do with the organization of the building and set up of the shed
He was also a member of most of the community committees around Oxford such as the Pearson Park Advisory board and the Ohoka /Oxford ward committee over the past 20 odd years he and the family lived in Oxford.
Vic will be missed by us all .

Welcome
Welcome to the shed’s new web site.this site will updated regularly and new images added so keep a watchful eye on it.
You’re going to publish a post today. Don’t worry about how your blog looks. Don’t worry if you haven’t given it a name yet, or you’re feeling overwhelmed. Just click the “New Post” button, and tell us why you’re here.
Why do this?
- Because it gives new readers context. What are you about? Why should they read your blog?
- Because it will help you focus your own ideas about your blog and what you’d like to do with it.
The post can be short or long, a personal intro to your life or a bloggy mission statement, a manifesto for the future or a simple outline of your the types of things you hope to publish.
To help you get started, here are a few questions:
- Why are you blogging publicly, rather than keeping a personal journal?
- What topics do you think you’ll write about?
- Who would you love to connect with via your blog?
- If you blog successfully throughout the next year, what would you hope to have accomplished?
You’re not locked into any of this; one of the wonderful things about blogs is how they constantly evolve as we learn, grow, and interact with one another — but it’s good to know where and why you started, and articulating your goals may just give you a few other post ideas.
