Petersfield Men’s Shed is really proud to have been featured in the Alton Herald on Thursday 13th June 2024.
The members of the men’s shed are helping to make 40 Starling boxes that will be installed on houses around Newton Valence. “The startling is one of England’s most romantic birds but is now on the list of endangered species as their population has plummeted by 53%”
Stephen Allberry from Petersfield Men’s Shed used his skill to construct two new Accessible Backgammon Boards for the Petersfield u3a.
These Backgammon Boards were specifically designed to make the game accessible to players who are visually, or dexterity challenged.

The Petersfield Men’s Shed have been contacted by a variety of people over the past months and here is a summary of some of the hard work of our members.
Dog Gate: A portable dog training gate for use by the Petersfield Dog Training Club.
Kestrel Boxes Twelve kestrel boxes being built for Raptors of Newton Valence.
Market Stall Requested by ‘Entertainment Events’ for the sale of ice cream during the Seussical Musical event held at the Festival Hall.
On Friday the 19th January 2024, we ran a pilot cookery class to teach some basic cookery skills.
In conjunction with local charities Age Concern and Winton House, five men (including John Liddall and Roland Goodbody from the Men’s Shed) prepared spaghetti bolognaise together and then enjoyed an early supper with a well-earned glass of red wine.
We plan to run more classes, now we know the format works and the facilities at Winton House can cope. The support and input by everyone at Winton House has made this possible, proving collaboration really works to benefit local people.
