The Irish Getaway

Has A New Home!!!

A scheduling conflict has fortunately made the Civitan Club Fairgrounds unavailable for the Irish Getaway in 2001!  Fortunate because we have secured an even better location...the Laurens County Sportsmen's Club.  The Sportsmen's Club is located on 47 beautiful acres along the banks of the Oconee River, just off highway 19, 8 miles south of the Laurens County courthouse.

The location is easy to find.  From I-16, take exit 54 and go south 1.5 miles on highway 19 to Sportsmen's Club road.  Just look for the sign.

The Sportmen's Club is in a rural area and away from traffic and congestion.  The facility is clean and well-maintained, with a full-time groundskeeper living on the property for security.

Still its only about a ten minute ride from motels, restaurants, and the festivities of the Saint Patrick's Festival in Dublin.

There is lots of room for camping in either tents, trailers, or RV's, and also lots of space for vendors to set up.  Take a few minutes and enjoy the photographic tour of the Sportmen's Club below.

Start making your plans now to come to Irish Getaway VIII on March 16 & 17, 2001!!!

The Sportsmen's Club is EASY to find.  Just turn left at this sign 1.5 miles south of I-16 at exit 54, on GA 19.	Then travel 2.0 miles to the entrance to the Sportmen's Club property.
This is the entrance to the Laurens County Sportmen's Club.	This shaded camping area has six RV hookups with water and electricity for $10.00 per night...first come first served.
The clubhouse is heated and air conditioned, with seating for 250+.	Picnic tables in front of the clubhouse.  The Oconee River is in the background.
Swing, picnic table, and boat landing on the river.	This is a view downstream from the boat landing.   Fishing anyone???
Upstream view of the Oconee River from the boat landing.	Looking down the boat landing directly across the river.
There are two shelters on the property currently.   A third is already planned and should be ready by March.	This rise is actually an ancient Indian Mound located within walking distance of the club house.
Full-service kitchen will make it possible for us to provide a greater variety of foods.	Seating area can accommodate 250 at a time.   More if they're good friends!
This fireplace is located at the rear of the clubhouse.  Never know when March will be cool...	This smokehouse is attached to the clubhouse.
Tent/Pop-up camping can be anywhere on the grounds.   Electricity is available at the shelters and around the clubhouse.	Bath houses have showers with hot water.
