🎯 Boccia – Taster Evening Success! 🎯

What a cracking night at Kilcoo Men’s Shed with our Boccia taster session!

A great turnout, plenty of banter, and more than a few laughs all round.
As the rounds went on, the competitive streaks definitely started to show 👀🎯 — friendly rivalry at its best!
Brilliant to see everyone getting stuck in, encouraging each other, and enjoying something a bit different.
Thanks to everyone who came along and made it such a success.
If this is anything to go by, Boccia could be making a regular appearance.

Great meeting tonight at Kilcoo Men’s Shed 👏
Unfortunately, man flu and a few other things reduced our numbers this week, but the craic was still mighty, the tea was pouring ☕ and plenty of new plans for the year ahead are already starting to take shape.
A big thank you to Mark Turley from Killyleagh and District Men’s Shed for paying us a visit, and a very warm welcome to Seamus Boden from Castlewellan for joining us — great to have you both along.

As always — it’s about meeting up, having a chat, a laugh, and supporting each other shoulder to shoulder. Everything else is a bonus 🤝

🔨 Kilcoo Men’s Shed –
We’re Back! ☕️
Tonight @ 8PM
and every Wednesday evening at 8pm
For a new year of activities!

We’re delighted to welcome everyone back for our first midweek meet of the year — and our first gathering after the Christmas break.
Come along for a bit of craic, a cuppa tea, and a chance to catch up shoulder to shoulder. This is also a great opportunity to put forward any ideas you’d like to see introduced to our range of interactive courses, services, or facilities.
As always, our core objective is simple:
👉 to provide a welcoming meeting point
👉 to bring men together to talk, laugh, and enjoy each other’s company
Any skills learned or items created along the way are a bonus 👍
New faces always welcome — see you there!
