Ballyvaughan 2010

Now Open for Reservations

15th October - 18th October 2010    Places currently available: 13   Confirmed Bookings:  11

As always we are using good quality cottages. Twenty four places are available. Cost is only £45 per person for this 3 night event (Friday to Monday).

This year sees an alternative venue for the famous Killala Cottages weekend although we'll, hopefully, be back at Killala for 2011. This years venue is Ballyvaughan Holiday Cottages, Ballyvaughan, Co. Clare.

Formerly a fishing port, the harbour at Ballyvaughan is now mainly used for pleasure craft and sporting activities and the village lies at the edge of the Burren region on the Southern shore of Galway Bay. The cottages are located in the centre of the village and are within walking distance of all amenities including traditional singing pubs and excellent seafood restaurants. As with Killala, these cottages are fully equipped and self contained and all you need to bring is your own towel and yourself.....

This Rally makes a great break in relaxing surroundings with some great company amidst the rural splendour and relaxed atmosphere that is Southern Ireland. There is great scenery, great riding roads and a few great Irish pubs in the village.....

We tend to pre-arrange very little for this type of event and most folk seem happy to just 'go with the flow' Most will take ride-outs at some point, both to see the scenery, ride the roads, visit some attraction or just find a local bar for soup and a roll.....

Saturday evening we hope to have a meal arranged for those that wish. Costs of the meal are not included in the rally price and is optional but usually makes a good get together - In practice, everyone tends to go but having it as an extra does give you the option. Details of this will appear in due course. I'll need confirmed numbers by the Friday at the latest.

The cottages are fully equipped and all you need to bring are your own towels. Each house tends to do it's own catering with folk getting together to cook and/or buy provisions so you won't particularly need to cater for yourself just be willing to help out with whatever needs doing..... All totally relaxed.

Travel - most folk tend to cross the Irish Sea from Holyhead to Dunlaoghaire and usually a number of folk book into the Travel Lodge at Holyhead the night before for the early sailing of the HSS  which makes for an easy start and a leisurely day to cover the distance to the rally site along with various lunch and tea stops. Ferry times have changed slightly (again) since last year and the early HSS now runs at 10.00am which means not quite such an early start but also not quite such a leisurely ride. We have a current Stena Line discount and you'll find details for that within the Club area of the Forum

Cost is £45 per person. We have three cottages available, there are a total of six double rooms, three twin rooms and three twin rooms with bunks  - single rooms are not available so if you are coming alone you will be roomed with another person. This means that there are only 24 places available on a 'First come, First Served' basis so early booking and payment is highly recommended. So Book Now........ if you'd like to attend this rally you need to get those bookings in now......
