Coláiste na bhFiann Fun Day
August 10, 2012
Coláiste na bhFiann will warmly welcome the public to a fun day taking place on Monday, 13th August in Co. Meath.
The day will be jam-packed with Irish language activities for all the family and will be an opportunity for the public to see Coláiste na bhFiann’s new headquarters in Droim Rí. The new youth centre is situated in the former Warrenstown Horticultural Centre and is surrounded by gardens, sports grounds and enough outdoor space to satisfy the most active of students that will come through the Coláiste na bhFiann doors in the future. The new centre will accommodate over 750 students this summer and hundreds more will attend other Coláiste na bhFiann courses in various locations around the country. The day will include entertainment from some of the 600 current students that will be in attendance. This will include music shows, dancing and drama. These performances will demonstrate the effectiveness of Coláiste na bhFiann’s objective of creating an environment in which students are comfortable and confident using the Irish language in social and informal settings. The Fun Day will give the public a taste of life as a Coláiste na bhFiann student and how easy it is to enjoy the language in everyday life. President of the GAA Liam Ó Néill will be there on the day to help celebrate Coláiste na bhFiann’s achievements over the last 45 years through their summer colleges and their weekly youth clubs run all over the country. The day will also include games and a BBQ, entertainment for kids and a céilí at the end of the day. The Lá Spraoi will begin at 4.00pm and continue until 8.00pm.
