UPDATE: we unfortunately have to cancel this morning - many of our mentors are out in rural areas and untreated roads are not even within sight of being safe to drive on. We will see you in the new year, have a safe and happy Christmas break!

First dojo of 2023 in the morning. See you all then!

This Saturday's dojo is always the highlight of the year. Why you ask? Coding, friends and pizza.

We wrapped up our 11th year with sunshine, a little coding and lots of pizza and treats. National Scratch Competition certificates were handed out, a few coloured belts awarded and ninjas got to select a game from EA Games to take home. A great way to end the year!

A big thank you to all of our volunteers. Have a great summer! Back row: John, Oliver, Phil, Joe, Donal, Mike, Anthony, Quinn Front row: Ciara, Subadra, Laura, Matt, Russ Not pictured: Deirdre, Niall, Barry, Bernard

Christmas came early for our club and we received laptops, electronics and robotic kits for the kids to try in the New Year. These were gratefully bought with grant funds received from #LCETB. Limerick & Clare Education & Training Board.

We've decided to cancel tomorrow's session due to the frosty conditions. We will send emails out later but spread the word. We look forward to seeing you on the 11th.
