WHERE TO STAY....

50 YEARS  OF  FUN  &  FRIENDSHIP  IN

FERNHILL  HOUSE
1953 – 2003

 

*  Were you a Brigin or a Guide ?

*  Do you remember spending fun-filled weekends in Fernhill House ?

*  Would you like many more girls to grow up with the same fond memories you did ?

 

If the answer to these questions is YES, then you can help us.

 

CGI have been in Fernhill for 50 years and during that time thousands of girls have enjoyed summer camps and weekend breaks to Wicklow town.

The town has grown over the years and so have the local facilities.  Wicklow has a new public swimming pool, which is regularly visited by Brigin and Guide groups spending time in Fernhill.  You can also take a trip to Wicklow Gaol (Jail), the Life Boat house or just take a stroll on the beach.

 

Unfortunately the years have not been as good to Fernhill as they have to Wicklow.  The house needs major refurbishment and the only way to do this is … yes you’ve guessed it - money !

 

We are in the process of putting together an application for a Lotto Grant but we must also raise a percentage of the money ourselves.

 

Fundraising Total to Date . . . . . . €6,500
