Recently we engaged in a series of breathing and physical gentle exercises and the members really enjoyed the activity. We plan to have a further series of gentle exercises beginning in early September so watch this space for further details. We are also planning to plant some more native Irish trees along the Vartry Trail so new blood is badly needed to dig the holes and erect stakes and protective wire to protect the saplings. Some of us are still in recovery mode from the ‘gentle exercises’. 086 8650588 for any further information .The mobile number is a reminder that we are regularly helping each other in the Shed on how to use the mobile devices which have changed the world. There may be someone out there who would be willing to come along and give us a bit of guidance. With so much activity ‘online’ at the moment most of us would be lost without a little help. We engaged in ’one to one’ tuition with transition year students in the past and we plan to explore this possibility again in September when the schools reopen.

Built by the Anglo-Normans, the  castle was the epicentre of a ferocious struggle between Gaelic Irish and the Colonists – an important part of late medieval Irish history in Wicklow.
