SIED DYNION ABERGELE MEN’S SHED

We facilitate our members to socialise and take part in making wooden items ie wooden benches etc, from reclaimed/recycled materials. We also repair items for the local community. With the skills of our membership and using tools and machinery donated by members or purchased with proceeds from donations. We are currently located in a former church hall which we rent.
