TIONÓL LÁMHCHLEASAÍOCHTA INIS OÍRR
Is deireadh seachtaine lámhchleasaíocht, ceardlanna, cluichí agus seó trí Ghaeilge é. Cuirtear fáilte roimh lucht ceirde, lucht amaitéarach, agus daoine ar mhaith leo triail a bhaint as a gcuid Gaeilge a úsáid. An aidhm ná coinbhinsiúin lámhchleasaíochta a chur ar siúl trí mheán na Gaeilge. Halla le deimhniú!
Beidh ceardlanna lámhchleasaíochta agus Gaeilge do thosaitheoirí ann Dé hAoine agus Dé Sathairn, agus cluichí do chách Dé Domhnaigh. Beidh seó lámhchleasaíochta ar Inis Oírr Sathairn 6ú Meán Fómhair oscailte do chách.
Is spás é seo chun lámhchleasaíocht agus an Ghaeilge a chleachtadh, fiú mura bhfuil ceann ar bith agat. Ná bí buartha! Má tá tú macnamh air, tar ann!
