Killarney

<h3>Killarney Valley Classic and Vintage Club has relaunched its Classic Shed after being closed since the start of the pandemic.</h3>
The club reopened its shed last Thursday evening and is inviting classic car enthusiasts, or indeed anyone, who wants to start a new hobby to join them at their premises on the Lewis Road.
The Classic Shed has been extensively renovated over the last few weeks and now includes a new heating system and new lighting.
Over the next few months the club, along with existing members and new recruits, will restore a 1982 Toyota Corolla. The car will be raffled off to raise funds for Kerry-based mental health charities.
They also have plans in place to restore a Ford Dexta classic tractor in the months ahead.
“Our doors are wide open, everyone is welcome,” Killarney Valley Classic and Vintage Club’s Tom Leslie told the Killarney Advertiser.
“The new lights were finished this week. This is for anyone, male or female, who might want a new hobby. They don’t need to be mechanics or anything, this is more about the social side of things and sometimes the cup of tea each night is more important than the work we do.”
The Classic Shed is a separate operation to the Men’s Shed that is already in place in the same yard.
The Men’s Shed, which has already resumed post-pandemic, is aimed at people with an interest in wood crafting, gardening and other similar hobbies but both organisations offer the same social outlet for people looking for new friends or hobbies.
