After the success of the UKGSer weekend in Ireland last year Jockser and I are organising another one for 2007. :bounce1

The dates for the event are Friday July 20 to Sunday July 22.

Again our venue is the Achill Island Hotel, a newly built 26 bedroom family run hotel, restaurant and bar located at the gateway to Achill Island, Co Mayo.

The hotel has 25 rooms in a variety of combinations, double, single, twin etc. Camping will be available on the GAA football pitch next door to the hotel for a small fee of €7.50 per night.

Campers can avail of the hotel toilet facilities and of course for those who do not want to cook breakfast they can go into the hotel in the mornings for their breakfast, with a choice of cereals, juices, fresh fruit, full Irish, fish, scrambled eggs & bacon, etc, tea/ coffee.

The hotel rates are as follows;

1 night Bed & Breakfast & 1 Dinner @ €90 per person sharing
2 nights Bed & Breakfast & 1 Dinner @ €125 per person sharing


Obviously at this rate it is better value to stay both nights and makes for a better weekend all round.

We have negotiated an exclusive booking period until Wednesday 7th March for UKGSers coming to this event.

Please contact the hotel direct and Beatrix will reserve your room for you.

We cannot guarantee a room for you after that date unfortunately, so book early.


If you interested in attending this event on Achill Island would you please post a reply to this thread so that we can plan accordingly.

Thanks

Aidan & Jockser

Achill Island is the largest island off the coast of Ireland, measuring some 20km from east to west and 18km from north to south. Its famous rocky and mountainous coastline measures a total of 120km and includes Europe's highest sea cliffs at Croaghan. Achill has two significant mountains, Slievemore (672m) and Croaghan (668m), while Minaun (466m) provides the dramatic cliffs at the Dookinelly end of Keel strand.

Can I have the one I ordered last year please :rolleyes:

Hmmmm..... hotel or tent. Judging by 2006 the hotel would be more economical, what with having to buy a new, unripped, tent :mad:

Mind you, given the overall cost of the weekend last year, 100quid for a new tent doesn't sound so bad :eek:
 
They don't have Chav's on Achill Rob and well do you know it just sheep.

Speaking of sheep is that restraining order up yet? :D

expiered on 31st dec.....moved on now have you meet the new girlfriend
