IGS Summer Party at Killua Castle, 28th June

03.07.2025

Posted by IGS


Last Saturday afternoon, the 28th of June, IGS members and friends enjoyed our annual Summer party. This year's event took place at Killua Castle in Westmeath. The castle has connections to both Sir Walter Raleigh and Lawrence of Arabia and has been completely restored by the Krause family after lying in ruin for almost one hundred years.

Despite the overcast weather, guests enjoyed drinks & canapes on the lawn followed by the ever popular annual summer party raffle. The highlight of the afternoon was a tour of the castle's magnificent interior.

We would like to thank the IGS Events Committee, all who attended, and owners Allen and Lorena Sangines-Krause for being such accommodating and gracious hosts.
