Saturday 4th August 2012 Benburb Mills – A Sean Barton tour! I will send more details about each outing closer to the time We plan to leave at 9am sharp from the Club. We generally meet up and organise drivers etc before leaving to share cars as much as possible. Cost is £4.00 per person. This covers the cost of entry to venues and scones / tea for the morning. Sometimes there is no charge for getting in but this tends to be balanced out by other places where it costs more than £4.00. Please bring your own lunch (although the girls usually have enough to feed everyone!) Petrol money is sorted out by individual drivers on the day.
