Mike Ramsay, Master of Thornborough Lodge and Bro Dinsdale, Charity Steward came to Leyburn Arts & Community Centre to present a cheque for £500 towards the costs of the new Leyburn Community Shed.

This is now in situ, waiting for the weather to improve so that further internal and external work can be completed. Julian Pinches, manager and leader of the development team said “we are most grateful and appreciative of this donation from the Freemasons to help provide a flexible working environment for a wide range of activities for the people of Wensleydale. We are looking forward to its opening later this year."

The Shed will have woodworking facilities amongst other equipment and will be open to all ages.
