Chairman, Davy
McLaughlin (Bill), joined the call via Zoom last
week. He said: "Men's Shed Carn are doing everything
we can to ensure all of our members stay in touch.
We are very conscious that lots of our members are
excluded from their normal weekly social activities
due to self isolation or cocooning.
"We had our first meeting on the 30th April via Zoom
and we couldn't believe how easy it was to get
connected. Indeed, with such a nice call and great
craic, we decided to extend this to some of our
other groups.
"The Men's Shed Carn music group was the first of
these groups to try it out last Monday night and it
was a great success with members up to 80 years of
age, joining in, with more planning to join this
week.
"We are currently trying to procure more tablets or
devices for other members as it is so important that
everyone who wants to join these (or other sessions)
can join in and feel less isolated. There has been
huge interest and demand from members."
Bill concluded: "For further information please
check us out on
Men's Shed Carndonagh Facebook or email us on
mens.shed.carn@gmail.com . We welcome new
members all the time and are determined to do what
we can to support everyone during this difficult
time." |
