THE relaunch of the
Men’s Shed Carn on Thursday night (26 September
2019), at the Old Co-op premises in Carndonagh, has
been hailed ‘a huge success’ with over 100 people
attending the event. |

Relaunch of the Men’s Shed Carn
project hailed ‘a huge success’ with over 100
people attending the event. |
The aim of the Men’s
Shed ‘Open Night’ was to provide information on the
exciting range of activities, projects and courses
on offer and to encourage those in attendance to
sign-up or become new members. People from the local
community also gave their views on the activities
and projects they would like to see offered at the
Men's Shed in the future.
Conor Doherty, Chairperson of the Men’s Shed Carn
project said: “Men's Shed Carn would like to say a
huge ‘Thank You’ to everyone from the local
community who turned up to our relaunch – we had
great music from men involved in the
newly-established Monday Music Nights at the Shed,
as well as some fantastic speakers on the open
night." |

Conor continued “Thanks
also to everyone who helped out behind the scenes on
this hugely successful event which saw a significant
number of new members sign up – including women."
“I’d also like to take this opportunity to pay
tribute to Denise McCool and Mary McGeehan from
Inishowen Development Partnership (IDP) for their
ongoing support of the project since it was
established in 2012 – as well as Donegal ETB for
funding courses on offer at the Shed. Indeed, on
relaunch night the furniture restoration course
which starts next Tuesday (October 1st) has now been
fully booked up, and therefore we’ll also now be
offering and additional course due to the high
demand – details to follow soon. Finally, I’d also
like to acknowledge Inishowen Co-op for their
amazing generosity in providing the premises at a
low cost, which has enabled us to successfully
operate since our inception."
The new opening times for the Men’s Shed Carn are as
follows:
Monday: 8pm - 11pm (including the Music Night)
Tuesday: 10am - 12noon & 7:30pm - 9:30pm (Furniture
