The 50 Plus Show in association with Specsavers Galway is back in the Salthill Hotel this November 17 ans 18 for the 4th consecutive year with over 70 displays, demonstrations, workshops and talks – all designed to inform and educate people in their retirement.
Attractions include free cooking demonstrations and health screenings, arts and crafts workshops, artificial Intelligence (AI ) and digital advice, antique and collectable valuations plus 60 exhibitors covering health, rights and entitlements, volunteering, recruitment, personal finance, home and abroad holidays, energy savings, hobbies and pastimes, coin and stamp collecting and joining a club or society.
Sinead Ryan, known to many from her Newstalk programme and column in the Irish Independent will be speaking on both days on “Wills, Inheritance and the Fair Deal Scheme: everything you want to know but are afraid to ask”.
Also speaking and available to chat afterwards will be Irish Times Education Columnist and Guidance Counsellor, Brian Mooney who will be giving some food for thought about the conversations people need to consider having about their retirement – their second life.
