Our year is split between a mixture of club member activity throughout the winter months and outdoor activities when the weather is better. September to June, we usually meet on Thursday evenings at 8pm on Zoom, or at the Pembroke Hotel, Kilkenny.

Where possible, KPS host a number of activities for members, including peer and guest presentations and practical workshops. Members show and discuss their own work at least once every month.
