This day last week, the GKinetic team took a well earned day out for our Christmas party 🥳🎄Supporting local and getting some fresh air and exercise was the order of the day.

We started out by doing the Knights Walk in beautiful Glin (https://www.limerick.ie/discover/eat-see-do/sports-recreation/activities/walking/county-limerick-trails/glin-heritage) with John acting as our lead birdwatcher 🐦 and much discussion about how much energy could be generated from the River Shannon below us! 🙌⚡️💦

Then it was on to Conway's Bar Glin where we got a fantastic welcome and enjoyed some exceptionally good pints of Guinness! Then onto Allo's Bar Bistro Townhouse, Listowel for the MOST INCREDIBLE MEAL! The food, service and ambience is second to none there 👏👌

Apart from 'someone' putting on Garth Brooks during the sing song on the way home it was a fantastic day! 🤣 We are so grateful for our hard working and committed team and are very proud of the milestones we have achieved during what has been a difficult year. A huge thanks to all our friends, family and supporters who keep us motivated 🤗 Very excited for an even bigger and better year in 2022! 🤩
