Rambling House in Spa Clubhouse

From 2011 to 2013 Spa went back in time and invited the community into the clubhouse for traditional Rambling Houses during the winter months. At each event there was music, singing and storytelling, with an extra special celebration in 2012 to celebrate Jackie ‘The Farmer’ O’Sullivan’s 100th birthday!
