WELCOME TO OUR 41ST CONVENTION
James O’Sullivan, our District Governor and the Host Club Antrim would like to see you at Convention on the 12th March to 14th March 2010 at the Dunadry Hotel.
A grand and homely place is a true rarity and Dunadry Hotel is unlike any other. A four-star hotel built on the site of an ancient fort and once home to both paper and linen mills, The Dunadry Hotel is rich with stories of times past. In fact the Red Branch Knights of Ulster used the Dunadry as their middle camping ground.
It is now our turn for the third time for the great Lions of Ireland and further a field to put a mark on history during convention and change people’s lives for the better. Your thoughts and views really count. Please come to convention
This is the land of special surprises and fun. The only Nights you will see are ones of great food, entertainment and a cocktail of friends old and new.
The perfect location…only minutes from Belfast International Airport and convenient to Junction One Outlet Village. Belfast city centre and IKEA are only 20 minutes away and the Antrim Coast and Giants Causeway are only an hour away.

It provides an excellent range of coffee houses and restaurants as well as an Adventure Island indoor play area for the children which offers supervised childcare facilities..
Giants Causeway
The coastal scenery adjacent to the causeway is the some of the most beautiful and awe inspiring that you are likely to find anywhere. The majestic cliffs and inaccessible bays combine with myth and legend to inspire, but look carefully amongst the breathtaking landscape and you will find echoes of another reality, isolated ruins, kelp walls and shoreline fields bear testament to the harder life of subsistence farming and fishing endured by past generations. Dotted along the coast you’ll find small sheltered harbours and slipways, fishermen’s cottages and rock formations that you will never forget.
Bushmills Distillery
In 2008, Bushmills celebrated 400 years of local distilling history…a unique, unbroken whiskey-making tradition still very much alive today at the Old Bushmills Distillery. Just two miles from the spectacular Giant’s Causeway, the distillery lies in an area of outstanding natural beauty which is rich in history and folklore.
At Bushmills, the visitor can observe the craft and skills of making Irish whiskey. The guided tour includes the ingredients and processes, spring water from Saint Columb’s Rill and the finest malted barley, to the art of triple distillation in copper stills and ageing in oak casks. Of course, no visit would be complete without enjoying a complimentary glass of Bushmills whiskey
