This will be followed by a Gala Dinner and entertainment in the Gandon Inn at 8.00pm
Sunday morning June 4 - depart from Treacy’s and follow the original Gordon Bennett Route through Laois, Carlow, Kilcullen, Kildare and returning to The Heath.
Monday morning June 5 - departing Treacy’s and driving to Kildare to visit the National Stud and Japanese Gardens and other attractions in Kildare and returning to Treacy’s The Heath.
