Ireland Trip 2010.
Ireland Trip has been officially launched and will depend on the response from Members. We’re looking into a 5 day trip to the West Coast of Ireland. Dates are Thursday 23rd September to Monday 27th. We’ve chosen these to include a weekend, hopefully reduce the amount of time people take off work. The cost per person has calculated at £399, but the Club will take this cost down to £375pp. This not only will include your travel but your stay in superb accommodation, followed by the Irish breakfast and of course Dinner. There will also be some excursions in with the price.
Seats will be on first come first served basis. Max 48. Min 28. A deposit of £70 per person will confirm your seat on the trip. Bookings are now been taken at the Bar.
