The men – members of Horsham Men’s Shed movement – have crafted a ‘Wheel of Fortune’ as a new attraction at fundraising events held by Castlewood Primary School in Southwater.

The project was launched by Castlewood Parent Teachers’ Association chairman Hayley Timson who approached the Men’s Shed group for help.

“I was aware of the doom and financial gloom ahead of us but wanted to create a new attraction at the fundraising events we run to excite the kids and keep people happy and positive,” said Hayley.

“The Men’s Shed took on the challenge and created the most beautiful Wheel of Fortune.”

The team of talented men who took on the project were led by Kevin Gibbons.

And the wheel had its first outing at the school’s annual Blackberry Fair on Saturday … when a massive £6,700 was raised.
