Jon, Morgan, Seamus, Helga and I as well as the members of the Men’s shed look forward to your welcome support.
The Men’s Shed is a place where men can get together have a chat and get information about what is going on in the community.
While working on community projects or learning a new skill, the participants all help each other.
In the Abbeyfeale Men’s Shed they have a computer, a pool table and a dart board and information on day/ night classes
“The most important thing in the shed is the tea/coffee pot so why not call in Monday evening 6pm to 9pm at the ‘Old Tech’ building,” said spokesman Dee Dennison.
