We had a wonderful afternoon at St Annes Park, which is one of those real treasures that we have here in Dublin. St Annes Park spreads between, Clontarf, Killester, Dollymount and Raheny. It has an abundance of fabulous grounds with spectacular trees and foliage. It has an amazing amount of football pitches, pitch and putt course and tennis courts. How lucky can we be!!!The sun came out and soaked us with its autumn warmth. No need for rain coats or umbrellas. Each and every person was enthusiastic and obviously has Irish Guide Dogs close to their hearts. Even though we unfortunately didn't have access to the IGD Flashes people were still very generous and made donations. Thank you to all who came out and did the walk.
