Car Pooling
As car parking is proving problematic in some of the areas we visit, we suggest that walk leaders locate a suitable car parking area in the general area of the walk, and that participants then pool cars to drive to the actual start of the walk. Your co-operation with walk leaders in this regard would be greatly appreciated.

Tuesday evenings. Non members welcome (MI insured only). €5.00

The AGM of the club will be held in the International Hotel in Killarney on Monday 7th November at 8.00pm. All members are encouraged to attend. A slideshow of 2011 trips by club members may be held after the meeting.
We now have a FaceBook page. This can be used by members to add photos, comments etc. Please "Like" this page!! All walk details will be shared on this, so check it regularly as it is intended to phase out individual e-mails..
This year Felicia & Sheila have again "volunteered" to organise the Xmas get together. The date and venue will be announced later.
Orienteering is great training for navigation, and courses are of all standards. These are the local venues on the Kerry Orienteers autumn calendar. Start times for all events are between 11am and 1pm. Please check www.orienteer.info for more information and to confirm fixtures.
