Irish Mini Owners Club

I have been in contact with Dundalk IT and they are willing to run a course for us on welding light gauge material as would be found in Minis.The course would consist of introducing members to MIG welding and giving a basic guide into doing it correctly and a small bit of gas welding for those interested.It would be ran over 3 evenings from 7 to 9 on Tuesdays.The cost of this course would be €125 per person to cover DKIT expenses in running the course.A minimum of 12 members would need to sign up for the course to go ahead.What do people think of this and how many would be interested.

i'd love to do this but its a bit too far away for me

Depending on when it is , I'm interested Aidan.

If and when we get 12 people to do it then it will go ahead ASAP.Also DKIT is 40 minutes from Dublin airport.

There you Maker, just fly to Dubland airport and walk the rest of the way! I'm the same as Mr. Cooney, depending on dates.

Id be interested too Aidan.

We have an 'Agreement' where we help eachother out on our minis sharing our skills and as he is a qualified fabricator welding is 2nd nature to him..... Takes place in either his workshop or mine......

care to pm me or text me some details??? i'd pay cash or try help out wit mini stuff

Lads,

In fairness to KMG, he is trying to gauge interest in a welding course in DKIT. Any other discussion is a distraction from the opening post.

was waiting for that to be said!

on the topic, i would love to do it, but as with other members from wexford its a bit far! i did the same course when i finished school in fas in wexford and found it great and would recommend it to anyone that could make it!

I would love to do one but closer to home.

You for real..your only up the road..im going to travel from longford..Now come on!!

Im gonna have to give this a miss as money is tight and i have the qualification/course done already..
i do however recommend anyone that can and owns a mini to attend this course, the skills you'll learn will come in very handy someday and could save you quite a lot of moola in the future

fair play KMG for contacting the fas and getting something organised with them.

If you are interested in doing this course,put your name down as I need to know by Sunday evening as I will have to contact the college first thing Monday morning.
