Experience County Monaghan: Activity Packed Weekend

Embark on a 4-day journey from Dublin to County Monaghan. Explore Rossmore Forest Park, Castle Leslie Estate, Glaslough Village Heritage Trail, Lough Muckno Leisure Park, St. Peter’s Tin Church Laragh; and embark in fun activities like paintballing and clay pigeon shooting. There'll even be time to chill during the games nights and enjoy a BBQ. Can't wait to explore with you! 😊 Please note that this trip will require everyone to pitch in during meal times. I am happy to cook most meals, but I will require assistnance with food prep, cleaning as we go along, washing up the dishes after meal times, putting things away, and packing meals for excursions. We'll become a true community.

Your help is appreciated so that no one is left doing all the work. - Volunteers for Cooking Duties: On the first night, we’ll ask for volunteers to cook and assist with major meals, as well as tidy up our space. This way, we’ll know who’s on duty each day. - Kindness and Respect: Please be nice and courteous to everyone. It’s essential that we treat each other with respect. - Sharing and Fairness: Taking what doesn’t belong to you goes against our spirit of community. Even leftover items should be left until the end of the trip so we can distribute them fairly among everyone who contributed. - A Non-Profit Getaway: Remember, this trip isn’t about profit. It’s a fun escape for like-minded adults—a chance to step away from our day jobs and build a sense of community together. 😊🌟
