Tullyallen Macra ( west louth, County Louth) are looking for someone to do a club exchange with but not any old club exchange we want to do a multiclub exchange with as many macra clubs that feel up to the challenge of having to listen to us for d weekend!!
The idea being we look for some sort of holiday village with a few holiday homes or self catering apartments!! Each club takes up and apartment or whatever and we take it from there!!
After the success of the macra village at Miss Macra its time to have a good old fashion macra gettogether somewhere.
The venue has yet to be decided but we'll try and keep it sort of half central for everyone plus try and have it somewhere where there is lots to do and that!!
The date has yet to be decided but we'll try and it keep it on a free macra weekend as much as possible!!
The cost has yet to be decided but we'll try and keep it as cheap as possible - I'm hoping Tommy Moyles might supply sausages for the breakfast and James Healy provide spuds for the tea!!
The participants have yet to be decided but if there in macra they'll all be fabulous!!
There will also be the all ireland dance off competition on an as yet undecided dancefloor!!
If your interested let me know on here, we'll organise it on the forum handiest thing to do!! Also if you think you know a club that might be interested let them know and tell them to get in touch with me or if you have any ideas that could add to Macra Village post it up as well!!
lad,we could pull it in on a macra on tour type venture but as you say organise it here.i'll bring the sausages!! 2or 3 days on a bus,what could go wrong!!!
yep rebel we could surely was thinking though it'll probably end up being a normal weekend head off on friday evening after work 2 or 3 hour journey meet up round 8 bells head out somewhere!!
All ireland dance off could take place!!
We could do a bus tour on the saturday or we could do paintballing/surfing/windsurfing or some sort of stag/hen activity during the day and then all head out again Saturday night!!
It'd be home sunday then!!
As its only a club exchange type thingy we better not go into the crazyness of a 3 day thingy otherwise we might never go home!! I dunno

Not the 23rd of January as it's the North Wests big night!
sounds like a cracking idea. im sure u could count in some kildare clubs to. with regards to locations blessington in county wicklow as some adventure centres tat are situated around blessington lake. avon ri.ie or blessington adventure centre. they also offer self catering. will check up on more. also wicklow has good sencery and lots or tourist attractions.its one to look at.
Right seems like there is a bit of interest anyways!! Time to start researching where to go I'll have a look over the weekend and report back with some options!! Or if anyone has any thoughts on where to go post her up Boy!!
I know this is Louth and not sure how close Carlingford is to Tullyallen but I always think its a great spot, adventure centre, gorgeous place if you want to just go for a walk and this place looks ideal for a big crowd: http://www.carlingfordholiday.com/index.php
Actually that would be perfect there is a load of quality little pubs up there and it'd be serious craic plus it would be a proper little macra village!! Well up the top of the country though which mightnt be good for rebel and the likes!! Met a load of people over the weekend who'd never even been to Louth!!!! Like what the fook Best little county ever!!
Plus I live there so its worth a visit for that reason alone
I've stayed in Carlingford before. Great village. Some really nice pubs and lots to do there too. We stayed in the hostel and it did the trick without a bother. The roads are great. I made it in 4.5 hours from Cork city. I hear it took the most of 12 hours by public transport though. Ha
