Weekend Break-Away 2023

Friday 15th September - Sunday 17th September 

This year is going to be something different as a decision is made for club members

to challenge themselves to find their own accommodation on Achill Island

it'll be fun and interesting for everyone to be more independent in the club

Preferably in or near Keel village region as "Keel" will be our main go to place

Below is a list of places and numbers for your weekend away in no particular order click on the print or phone the number to book/price your stay

or

There is a number of self catering cottages on this glorious island that can sleep numbers of people

to name a few visit this website

There is a few members that have been to Achill before and have summed up all its glory 

But there is a few that rarely visit the gorgeous island full of spectacular views and scenery

For those that have been there a number of times it'll be good education for those that haven't

Our experienced Achill visitors have a line up of interests and places to go

Please Note that those members who are willing to go 

let the committee know in good time before September 

You and everyone else going will be setup within a separate WhatsApp group for the weekend trip

                   cons of this new genre.

               

                     

                  "I believe that great images are made in the hearts of those we know, the environment 

                   we live in and the times we share". John Mee.

            

           Please note - John frequently runs photography courses to groups and 1-1's. Focusing on beginners
