As soon as the bench was delivered last week, children and adults alike were quick to start using the board games.

"We wish the children of Slane school many years of enjoyment while developing their minds with strategic moves," said chairman Kevin Macken.

The bench was a while in production, as the workmanship is second to none and the school community was very excited when two members of the shed delivered the final product last week

The school wants to thank the Mens Shed members and Parents Association member, Tania Finnegan Rueda, who liaised with the Men's Shed to arrange the bench.

The school has also invited the Men's Shed members back to one of the school assemblies to talk more about their work.
