We organise a range of outings in the Spring, Summer and early Autumn. These include Wednesday evening tours, generally in Limerick city and its environs, Sunday half day own-transport trips within the general Thomond area and full-day Bus excursions to various areas in Ireland. Each outing has a designated member of the committee as organiser and all queries regarding itinerary, times and meeting places should be directed to that person whose contact details are on the membership card and programme. Bus outings must be booked in advance and cost includes an evening meal – members are advised to bring a packed lunch and appropriate clothing/footwear. We also take an annual overseas tour [normally in April or May] and a 4-day trip within Ireland [in September] which are strictly reserved for fully paid-up members. Guests of members are welcome on the other outings.
