Hi Everyone, <br><br> I wish to invite all of you
with an interest in the Irish language to an Irish
language immersion weekend. This weekend is being put on
by the Irish Society of the National Capital Region
(in Ottawa, Canada) and is open to all levels, from
beginners to cainteoir dúchais. <br><br> The only
requirement is a desire to learn and a willingness to speak
Irish at all times (to the best of your ability of
course). <br><br> There will be mandatory classes, as well
as workshops in set dancing, singing, and celtic art
(these workshops however are optional, but you don't
want to miss out on all the fun do you?). On Friday
night there will be a siamsa and a CÈili on Saturday
night so bring your musical instruments, songs,
stories, and dancing shoes. <br><br> The cost is $160.00
Canadian or $105.00 American per person and includes all
activities, meals and accommodation. <br><br> The weekend
will take place in October, from Friday the 13th
(don't worry.. the luck of the Irish will be with us)
until Sunday the 15th, at the scenic Bearbrook farms in
Navan, Ontario (just east of Ottawa). <br><br> To get
more information or to register please contact one of
the following people: <br> <br><br> Rosemary O'Brien
