Kilbarrack Men’s Shed – at KLEAR
Your local Men’s Shed meets on Wednesdays at 2pm at the KLEAR Centre.
Come along and find out what the group’s plans are for a friendly and active experience. Men of all ages very welcome!! Gerry McIntyre is our local organiser, in co-operation with Dublin City Council.
New Singing Workshop – Tuesday Evenings 7.30 to 9 p.m. started 15th January.
Due to the success of our Thursday Evening Singing Workshops with tutor Susan Tomelty, we are happy to offer another opportunity to disappointed students who found the original course booked up – and to others who like to sing.
There is no audition – you just need a love of singing. All genres are covered and there lots of fun and laughter. Join in!
Our Other General Courses
There are a few places left in some of our courses, which all began in the autumn. If you know someone who might enjoy the KLEAR experience, let them know.
Examples are: Creative Writing, Book Club, Reiki, French, Art, and Thurs evening Pilates.
