Summer Outing
Our summer outing this year will take place on Sunday 29th June 2025. We have arranged a guided walking tour of the Liberties in Dublin, the tour guide will be Liz Gillis from the Liberties Weavers. The tour will give a new insight to this historic area of our Capital City. Following this there will be a light lunch before we proceed to visit the Chester Beatty Library for a guided tour of this wonderful museum.
Booking for this outing is essential as spaces are limited, please confirm your booking as soon as possible by contacting Joan Jones by text (on 086 306 1855) or by email (
The cost for the day, which covers coach travel, entrance fees, guides, and a light lunch, is €55 per member or €65 for each non-member.
Our bus for the outing will depart from opposite Greystones Station at 9.30 am on the Sunday morning.
