  Renovations! 28/08/2007
  We've just finished repainting all our rooms and next week we are putting down brand new carpets in all the rooms and hallways in the hostel. Work is starting on Thursday 6th Spetember and will be finished by the following Thursday. Thanks for everyone's help and understanding while the work is going on – we are trying to keep any disruption to a minimum. If you have any questions feel free to e-mail us at info@avalon-house.ie
  Keep the photographs coming for the competition – we want to get as many as possible up in the rooms and around the hostel!
  Unfortunately our Tango classes have come to an end – thanks Jose for teaching them all summer and to all the guests who took part. We'll keep you posted on upcoming entertainment and events.

  Avalon's photo competition 23/08/2007
  Avalon's photo competition
  We are running a great photo competition at the moment in Avalon. You can send your entries by e-mail or post or if you are staying with us we can take them from your digital camera at reception. The prize is free accommodation for 2 people for a weekend at Avalon House. We have run the competition since March – here's a couple of photos of previous winners:
  Stanley Kollen – Mining in France – previous winner
  Aaron Martin – ship wreck in Bunbeg Co Donegal – previous winner
  Remember photos can be of anything at all people, places, objects – the more unusual the photo the better chance you have. Winning photos will be on display in the hostel and you may have your photo's immortalised in one of our rooms. We will try and print and display as many entries as possible. If you want to advertise you details so other guests can contact you in relation to your photographs let us know when you send in the photos and we'll put you in the frame. Good luck!
