Dundrum House Spring Break 2011

Dundrum Spring Break

49 members availed of a four day mini break to Dundrum House in the heartland of County Tipperary ,which some say is the heartland of Ireland.
The sightseeing, dances, quizzes, singsongs and general comradeship kept everybody happy.
The most noticeable and enjoyable aspect of the mini break was the attention of the owner Austin Crowe. He accompanied us on our day trips, he made our holiday with his stories and songs, his wit and knowledge of local history contributed greatly to what was a truly a relaxing and enjoyable break.
