Bordon Men’s Shed Build a Mud Kitchen

Bordon Men’s Shed was commissioned by Selborne Primary School, Selborne, to construct a ‘mud’ kitchen for use by the children. Their previous mud kitchen had fallen into disrepair and was falling apart and becoming dangerous. We took on the project and collected wood from various sources, including projects in the neighbourhood that gave up their spare materials. We also found a stainless steel sink that was going spare and utilised that. The result was very pleasing, and it was delivered to Selborne Primary on Friday, 26th September. The staff were thrilled and couldn’t wait for the children to see it and be able to play with it. We also installed a funnel and tube to connect to the sink taps so that the water could be turned on and off. I’m sure the children of Selborne will have many happy hours playing with it. It joins the sandpit covers and the hanging fixture, which were also constructed by Bordon Men’s Shed. The pictures show (1) in place at Selborne School and (2) outside the Men’s Shed temporary home.
