Skills Swap??

Ophiopogon

Just wanted to know if there is such a thing as a practical skills swap type club or skills learning group in Wicklow.

I am NOT looking to add to the debate in the other thread.

I saw in the Greystones & Charlesland thread something about The Men's Shed.
While it's not billed as a straight skills-swap it seems to me there would be ample opportunity to learn new skills as well as bringing something to the table yourself.
Have a look in there.
Also they have a facebook page

Yeah that thread is where I got the idea.

I'm a woman so not really an option. But it would be something on the same lines I would be looking for. There are a couple of different course for individual subject learning but I was really looking for something a bit more informal and has a range of skills.

Again...I'm not looking to add to the issues raised in the above thread, I have no problem with the Men's shed.

I heard today about one being set up. It sounded interesting, a mixture between a LETS scheme and a time bank. I'll PM you a contact person's details.
