BlewShed took delivery of a much loved ‘Colchester Student’ metal working lathe recently. A large workforce combined their strength to help unload this one-ton machine and move it into place in the newly designated metalworking shop at the Shed. A new BlewShed member is moving to Blewbury from Shropshire and wanted to bring his tools too. What better place to install them?

Blewbury WI meeting – Wednesday 23rd April
Blewbury WI’s next main meeting is on Wednesday 23 April 2025 and will be Mad, bad and dangerous to know: Lord Byron and his women. Golly, is this going to be too racy for the WI? No, of course not!

This talk explores those relationships, Byron’s extraordinary rise to fame and legend and his unparalleled notoriety for drink, sex and rebellion. Oh – as well as some of best known poetry…to find out more, ring our Secretary, Joy, on 850543 or email blewburywi@gmail.com.
