Donabate Portrane Men’s Shed has not given up in the face of Covid-19 restrictions. We’ve continued meeting and staying in touch with one another, albeit by Zoom, WhatsApp and good old-fashioned telephone. We even had a couple of meals together – socially distanced on Portrane Green enjoying Pipers’ fish and chips and the Irish summer! We also held two committee meetings by Zoom. Some members have joined Active Age for All for croquet in Newbridge at 1:30pm to 3:30pm on Mondays and Wednesdays. Due to Covid-19, Fingal County Council closed all its allotments at the beginning of April. When they reopened in Mid-May, ours was suffering from seven weeks of neglect and drought. Amazingly, we managed to rescue most of what had been planted in March through the Trojan efforts of a few stalwarts, while observing all Government and Irish Men’s Sheds Association guidelines on socially distancing and hygiene. If you’d like to join us, although under our current limitations, please contact Jim at 086-3694316
