Ballinasloe Active Retirement busy Summer 2023

With the inactive days of the Pandemic now just an unpleasant memory, the
members of Ballinasloe Active Retirement group have now resumed their
many Summer outings and activities
The season started off with a most enjoyable 5 day trip to Arklow and
surrounding countryside
In June, a large group had a memorable evening in Bunratty Castle
Recently, a full coach travelled by coach and ferry to Bath/Bristol. They had a
guided tour of Berkeley Castle followed by a scenic drive to the historic village
of Castle Combe in the Cotswolds. They then travelled to Wells ,the smallest
city in England, followed by a day of leisure in Bath where they explored the
stunning Bath Abbey.
Last but not least, the group headed off to Dublin where they had a wonderful
day in the Dail. They availed of all photo opportunities with our VIP’s
The members are now looking forward to the next day trip to Carrick-on-
Shannon which is next on the menu.
In the meantime all our other activities continue during the Summer months.
