AVOCA BINGO
Following the launch of Avoca Men’s Shed last year the members have been devising their programme for the next few months. Woodenbridge Gold Club has kindly given permission to the group to hold their meetings in the old railway station beside the club.
It has been agreed to devote two days a week to the preservation work – Wednesdays and Thursday for the moment. Mondays and Fridays will be for individual members to pursue their own projects or undertake small tasks for the broader community. Tuesday has been designated a social day when members will meet at the station at 10 a.m. (or earlier if outings are taking place)
Remember the shed is primarily a social network for men. The work is an incidental icebreaker and no skill is necessary. Contact Noel Fallon at 089 4539860 for more information.
CYCLING CLUB
Coolboy Wheelers, the newly formed cycling club will have their usual weekly spin out every Sunday morning, leaving the Little Moon at 9 a.m. Remember to bring money for a well earned tea break. Our new cycling kit has arrived so if anyone is interested in getting a kit or involved in the club contact Stephen (Scally) 087 4681763
LEAGUE MATCH
Our next league match is fixed for this Sunday, April 2, at 11.30 a.m. at home to Kilbride. Please note this fixture is subject to change so keep an eye on our Facebook page for updates.
