Busman’s holiday to help Kerry Hospice
A BUSMAN’S holiday to raise funds for Kerry Hospice is the brain child of Paddy Kennedy.
Paddy and his wife Anne, of Kennedy’s Coaches, wanted to support the Hospice and as buses and coaches are what they know best they decided to enlist the support of fellow coachmen at Kerry Coaches in Killarney, Flynn’s Coaches of Castlemaine and O’Shea’s Coaches of Tralee to run a convoy tour of the Slea Head Drive.
They are promising no ordinary bus tour as passengers will be treated to singing tour guides, storytellers, and a stop for dancing at the crossroads en route. The excursion will end with an afternoon tea dance in the Skellig Hotel after which passengers will be returned to their pick up point by coach.
The coaches will converge at the South Pole Inn in Annascaul at 12 noon before heading west in convoy. The organisers are providing pick up locations at Tralee, Killarney, Killorglin, Camp, Farranfore, Milltown, Castlemaine, Castlegregory, Annascaul and Dingle.
The ‘Coach Convoy’ will take place on Saturday, March 9. Tickets, which cost €25 including the afternoon tea buffet, can be reserved by contacting Miriam at miriampdennehy@ gmail.com or by text to 087 2409195. Please include your name, number of tickets and preferred pickup location. Money raised from the tour will go to the Kerry Hospice Foundation.
