Feel free to bring any item you like—it doesn’t have to be a chair. However, keep in mind that for the four-session course, it’s best if the project isn’t too large or complex.
If you’re unsure about what project to bring, reach out to Nessa at nessa@rediscoverycentre.ie for guidance.
Remember, you’ll need to take your item with you at the end of each session. Join us for a fun and creative upholstery experience!

Anyone who wants to help out their community by creating more cyclists! You just need to be curious about bikes, you do not need to know anything about mechanics! (sure I didn’t have any before I joined and now I’m hosting these meetups!)
This is also a good meetup if you want to help us find donated bikes, recipient organizations, or general logistics of delivery. You can help without touching a single bike if that’s your speed!
What to bring?
Clothes you do not mind getting dirty
Comfy shoes, you will be standing-walking on a wooden floor.
How it works

Get an orientation on the shop, where tools are, how we match bikes to recipients, and how we set up for the day.
Grab a bike and put it on the stand! Learn how we assess newly donated bikes for repair and what the parts of the bike are called.
Tinker! If you’re experienced, you could probably jump right in on fixing what’s broken. If you’re not, we got you covered! We’ll teach you the basics and make sure you’re doing things right
Clean up for the day
