KENMARE INDOOR BOWLS CLUB

KENMARE INDOOR BOWLS CLUB

With colder and wetter weather setting in, now would be a good time to come and see what playing bowls entails.  It’s a game of skill and accuracy and gentle exercise for the upper and lower body.  Members can continue playing bowls long after other forms of games and exercise become too difficult.  It’s also a great opportunity to socialise and meet people.  A welcome coffee break half way through our morning session helps with this.

The club meets twice a week – Mondays and Thursdays from 10.30 to 1.00 pm at the GAA Hall.  All you need is a pair of soft soled house shoes.   Bowls and tuition are both available and no previous experience is necessary -  just a willingness to give it your best shot.  Men and women welcome.

We look forward to welcoming you.  For further information contact Vera at 085 1308358.

Supporting Your Teenager’s Wellbeing and Self-esteem -What a Parent Can Do

Supporting Your Teenager’s Wellbeing and Self-esteem -What a Parent Can Do

Online workshop with John Sharry, Tuesday 22nd October.

Adolescence and the teenage years can be a time of emotional turmoil, brought on by body changes and hormones, increased pressure in school as well as worries about identity,  making friends and finding your niche. This comes at a time when teenagers are pulling away from their parents and often struggling to communicate.  It is no surprise that many teenagers feel insecure and stressed and are at a higher risk of mental health problems such as low self-esteem depression and anxiety.

This workshop will describe how parents can understand and stay connected with their teenager during this challenging time as well as supporting their confidence, wellbeing and self-esteem.

Date: Tuesday 22nd October 2024
Time: 8pm-9:15 including Q&A

Cost: €20

You can book a place on this workshop on my website here.
