Men's Shed in Kildare Town is looking for new members

By Michael Brennan

Kildare Town Men’s Shed was founded on the 23rd of October 2012 in Teach Dara community and family resource centre in Kildare Town.

Since this the group were seeking a home in Kildare town itself, when they decided to build a purpose built facility at 1223 Campion Crescent Kildare town, Co Kildareearlier this year.

Kildare Men's Shed is actively recruiting new members to the group which currently stands at 6 members.

So far, the group has learned skills from wood turning to gardening, and they are willing to take on any project or repair work that comes their way. The group have been involved in activities locally and just recently built a lemonade stand for the annual Thoroughbred run which takes place within the town 

Kildare town’s mens shed group is a community based, non for profit organisation, which is open to all adult men in a friendly and inclusive environment. Men's Sheds were set up to promote a healthy lifestyle, both physically and emotionally. Men are encouraged to talk about topics such as education, keeping up with changing technology, and health and well-being. The aim is to provide a place where men can hang out, have fun, help in the community, and socialise with other men to build, fix, talk, have a cup of tea, and share their knowledge and skills with each other.

Kildare Men's Shed meets at No 1223 Campion Crescent Kildare town, Co Kildare at various times throughout the week with the main meeting time being Tuesday from 10:00am onwards.

Information leaflets can be seen at various shops throughout the town, and for more information you can contact member Rick on 0876042403
