Some of you may remember that Conradh na Gaeilge Boirche Íochtar organised the first "Siúloch" last year. This was an enjoyable family event encouraging participants to raise a little sponsorship money for walking around Castlewellan Lake. The four Irish medium primary schools in County Down were all invited to take part (Downpatrick, Kilkeel, Newry and ourselves). This money was then used to purchase additional sporting equipment for all the schools involved.
Siúloch will be taking place again this year at 6pm on Friday 21 June. Families are encouraged to come along and join a stroll around the lake, where they can use whatever level of Irish they have with the other particiants, and then enjoy a picnic after. (Some healthy snacks will be provided or you can bring your own picnic). Sponsor sheets will given out to the children in school. While this is being organised as a fundraising event, please do not feel under pressure to make a large donation in order to participate. This is primarily an opportunity for Irish speakers, young and old, to get together, make new friends and practise their Irish in a relaxed atmosphere and enjoyable surroundings. Why not come along and join in?
