Success for Men’s Shed at the Petersfield Awards

2025 Petersfield Awards

We are delighted to share fantastic news from the recent Petersfield Awards.

Thank you to everyone who took the time to vote and support us. This recognition is a testament to the connection, creativity, and community we build together!

Protect Your New Wheels: Join Our Free Post-Christmas Bike Security Event

Did you wake up to a shiny new bicycle under the tree this Christmas? Or perhaps you’re looking to better protect the trusty bike you’ve had for years?

While a new bike is an exciting gift, the reality of bike theft can put a damper on the holiday spirit. We want to ensure your new wheels stay yours. That’s why we are hosting a free Bike Security Marking Event right after the holidays in Petersfield.

How Bike Marking Protects You

In just a few minutes, we can significantly increase the security of your bicycle using modern technology.

We will apply a specialized, tamper-resistant QR Code to your bike’s frame. This code links directly to a secured national police database containing your ownership details.

Why do this?

  • It’s a major deterrent: Thieves know that marked bikes are harder to sell and easier to identify. They often avoid them entirely.
  • It makes your bike traceable: If your bike is unfortunately stolen and later recovered by the Police anywhere in the country, they can scan the code in seconds to identify you as the owner and return it.

Event Details

Pop down and join us to give your bike the best chance of staying safe. The process is quick, easy, and open to cyclists of all ages.

  • Date: Sunday, 28th December 2025
  • Time: 10:00 AM – 12:00 Noon
  • Location: Petersfield Men’s Shed (16 Heath Road, Petersfield, GU31 4DU)
  • Cost: FREE! (While there is no charge for the service, voluntary donations to the Men’s Shed are always appreciated).

No booking is necessary—just drop in between 10 am and noon. Please help us spread the word by sharing this information with other local cyclists!
