    normally around the end of summer there is a book you can buy in Easons with all the night classes going on in Dublin. I found a night class from that particular book a few years back, usually held in a school or such like. Very useful and the instructor asked us what we wanted to know. A great way to learn as we worked on our own bikes.

    i'll check out one of those books and see what the story is

    It's maybe 6 years ago since I did it, so can't remember
    but it was one of those winter evening courses, maybe 8/10 weeks long, and it didn't break the bank - you're probably looking at around 80/100 for the 8 weeks (guesstimate)
    tis well worth it though as you'll be able to service your own bike afterwards, saving yourself a fortune right there!

    m sure they do a course in Palmerstown Community school. You know adult education.. Chances are they do it in some other secondary schools too.

    There was a course in Kylemore College, Ballyfermot last year. Done by one of the IRTA lads.
    Give the college a call. The course is listed in the Wolfhound Evening class guide referred to earlier. There is another course guide but it groups things by the colleges and location, not by topic as in the Wolfhound guide.
