Donabate Portrane Men’s Shed has had a busy Summer. Their “inaugural golf classic” was held at Bellewstown Golf Club in early August. Work at their plots at Turvey Allotments has kept several members very busy, with new screen doors being fitted to the polytunnel in addition to the usual seasonal activity. Their music group, Gerry & the Plonkers played at Fingal County Council Vintage Picnic at the end of July and at the Turvey Allotment’s family day in late August.

Autumn promises to be just as busy. Gerry and the Plonkers will play free concerts at Donabate Parish Hall from 12:30 to 14:00 on Wednesdays 16th October, 13th November and 4th December, with light refreshments provided. An outings to the Croke Park Museum and Skyline Walk is being arranged for September. The Men’s Shed will also be partaking in the Boules Launch on Monday 9th September at Newbridge House.

All of this is in addition to our weekly exercise classes, our croquet on Tuesday at Newbridge, our music jam sessions on Wednesday and our tea-and-chat get-together on Thursdays.
So if you’d like to join us, please call Jim on 086-3694316.
