Hi guys, hope ya'll all ready for a fun week
***OPC ANNUAL CEILI tuesday night***
Take a break from all that boring study and learn some real skills... Our annual ceili is on tomorrow night (Tuesday 20th) and you simply can't miss it. You'll learn some traditional Irish dancing and have a bit of craic Irish style. There'll be a traditional ceili band and a teacher to show you all the moves. This is always a night to remember. We'll all meet at the Stables Arch at 7.30 and make our way upto the Castletroy Carlton Hotel. The Ceili itself starts at 8 and it's only five euro to get in...a bargain! This is one of our best and biggest nights out all year, seriously guys it'll be frowned upon if I don't see you there
*Weekend Trip*
Theres no trip this weekend due to mountain skills training but never fear we'll be back with a bang next weekend with a trip to the Burren. It'll be an easy hike through the Karsk/ lunar landscape of the Burren, really beautiful trip! We'll also be stopping at the cliffs of moher to see Irelands most famous attraction. I highly recommend going on this trip, there'll be some really amazing sights to see! I'll have all the details on that in next weeks email.
