LEENAUN MAY 2017
Our annual weekend away next year will be in the Leenaun Hotel. The proposed date is Friday May 12th / Saturday 13th at a cost of €110 per person for two nights B & B, one evening meal & 1 sandwich. One extra night is €35 (B&B) and one extra meal is €20. Single supplement is €12:50 per night.                                                    Names to Peter who is now collecting money.
If you intend walking in Leenaun, don’t forget to do a bit of preparation, get out into the hills on one of the organised walks on a Thursday or Sunday. Don’t forget the Thursday B style walks which make a very good training.  The walks in Leenaun may well be harder than you are used too !!
