Here’s the details for accommodation for Lindsay & Mary’s wedding.
Maria is making this plan!
Sat 4th Aug 2012: Lindsay & Mary’s Wedding in Corofin, Co. Clare.
The wedding service is at 2pm in Rath Church, 10mins drive from Corofin village.
The wedding afters will be at “The Farmyard”, which is 15 mins drive from the church and on the other side Corofin village.
Lindsay & Mary will have booked dinner for the choir, as a thankyou, in the village of Corofin, I don’t know where yet, but they will also have a bus booked from there to take choir folks to the afters reception, for 8:45pm, for the cutting of the cake at 9pm:)
Buses will also bring people back from the reception to Corofin village, later that night. This will also take other wedding guests back too.
So all in all, Corofin is the easiest place to stay. If you are thinking of making it into a longer stay, Lahinch is a good place to stay, but there isn’t really a taxi service outside of the towns so it’s recommended to stay in Corofin for the Saturday wedding bus transport, just to make life easier.
Mary has reserved a hostel for the choir for the Saturday night costing €10.00 per person, which is http://www.corofincamping.com/hostel-page.html
People can book other nights directly with the hostel, at a higher rate. It is self-catering, but shops/pubs/restuarants are close by. There are now ONLY 7 places left in the choir’s booking so if you would like one and didn’t give me money for it, get back to me asap and we can arrange for you to send payment via online banking to me.
Important Info:
1. There are NO atms in Corofin village.
2. Here is a very helpful map for the wedding, but print it first. There is limited 3G internet in Corofin. http://goo.gl/maps/gT2G
4. Ask for directions. There are random cows and sheep lying around all over the place!!
5. Dress in your usual wedding party frocks.
6. On the Sunday, there’s an informal hike, with a trip to the pub after, if anyone wants to stick around.
