Good locations for a work weekend away?

eth0_

Our department have been given a budget to go away for 2 days, including hotel, food, activities...but we can't think of anywhere to go!
Somewhere like Blessington adventure centre (most of us have already been there before).

Any suggestions? We'd be going in October.

Well if you're going in October, then an adventure centre might not be
everyones cup of tea as the weather will put a lot off.. Why not try and
find some festival thats on down the country somewhere and go to that
instead.. something like the Cork Jazz festival might be worth checking out..

Flukey

Any of those adventure centres are good. Do a search on the web for them. Of course you might just want to go on the piss. Go abroad in that case. Prague is nice, cheap and easy to get too for example. The age and gender mix of your group would be important considerations. If there are a lot of lads, a sports weekend might be good. Maybe take in a Premiership match of something like that. Best thing to do is talk to everyone and get general ideas of what things people like doing and how far your budget can stretch and then start looking.

Era just go to Killarney and get bollicksed...

Failing that, Delphi in Mayo? Personally I'd rather stick pins in my eyes than go there again.

I'd be more inclined to go for the Killarney thing and maybe go paintballing (or some other fun group activity) on one of the days.

I'd recommend Delphi adventure centre, not great but there's plenty to do there.
Or how about a few days in the ring of kerry cycling might be good craic too

GALWAY all the way

Come down here to Galway on the holloween weekend and organise a fancy dress pub crawl, great craic, could go carting on the saturday and have a grand prix or I always recommend westport for a weekend.

Forward planning. I hear they're not actually taking the trip until 2010.
