Seniors had great day out to Avondale with Lions

More than 40 Kilcullen Senior Citizens had a most enjoyable day out on Wednesday last, writes Frances Clare of Kilcullen Lions Club. The outing was organised by Kilcullen Lions and started with a trip by bus across the Wicklow Gap to Avondale House — the home of Charles Stewart Parnell. 

Avondale is now also home to Ireland’s first Treetop Walk and many of the group were delighted to be able to try out this exciting new attraction. Rumour has it that one or two even managed the slide from the top of the tower! 

There was also plenty of time for a coffee and a stroll around the grounds. Everyone also took part in a guided tour of Avondale House where they heard the fascinating story of the various owners of the house, including its most famous resident, Parnell. The sun shone on the day and all came back to Fallon’s in Kilcullen where the group was treated to a lovely meal. 

To finish off the day, entertainment was provided by John Kelly and Terry McNally. Songs were sung, jokes were told, good laughs were had by all and great memories were certainly made.
