Eolas: Picnic na nGael in Clarksburg State Park, MA
Beidh teacht le chéile bliantúil na nGaeilgeoirí ó phobail Albany, Brattleboro agus Gleann an Cheannródaí in Massachusetts ag Páirc Stáit Clarksburg in iarthar Massachusetts an Satharn, an 9 Lúnasa, ag tosú ag 11.00 r.n. ACO (nó 11:00 am EST). Tá fáilte roimh chuile dhuine beag beann ar leibhéal a chumais Ghaeilge. Cuireadh an pailliún in áirithe don lá. Beidh comharbhéile eadrainn le haghaidh lóin. Tá deiseanna ag an bpáirc siúlóidí agus snámh a dhéanamh. Tá níos mó le foghlaim faoin bpáirc anseo: https://www.mass.gov/locations/clarksburg-state-park. (Treoracha thíos.)
The annual gathering of Irish speakers from the Albany, Brattleboro and Pioneer Valley communities will be happening at Clarksburg State Park in Western Massachusetts on Saturday, August 9th, starting at 11:00 am EST. The pavilion has been reserved for the day. Everyone is welcome regardless of your level of Irish. We’ll have a potluck lunch. There are opportunities at the park for hiking and swimming. You can learn more about the park here: https://www.mass.gov/locations/clarksburg-state-park. (Directions below.)
Ag slí isteach na páirce, beidh orainn ticéad lae a cheannach do na gluaisteáin ag meaisín. Mhol foireann na páirce “Massachusetts” a roghnú mar stát an ghluaisteáin chun táille $5 a íoc. (Bheadh sé níos daoire dhá roghnódh muid stát eile.) Dhearbhaigh ball foirne dom go dtabharfaidh an fhoireann neamhaird ar na ticéid.
At the park entrance we have to purchase day passes for the cars at a machine. The park staff recommends choosing “Massachusetts” as the car’s state in order to pay $5 for the ticket. (It would be more expensive if we chose another state.) A staff member assured me that the staff will ignore the tickets.
Tabhair bia le gríoscadh agus le roinnt, deochanna (cosc ar alcól sa bpáirc), scéalta, amhráin agus uirlisí ceoil leat. Le cúnamh na haimsire beidh lá deas faoin spéir againn ach beag beann air beidh díon os ár gcinn agus spraoi agus craic le cairde dílse. Más féidir, tapaigh an deis síoba a roinnt.
Bring food to grill and share, drinks (alcohol is prohibited at the park), stories, songs and instruments. Hopefully it will be a nice day but regardless we’ll have a roof over our heads and fun with dear friends. If possible, carpool with others.
Tá maoiniú curtha ar fáil ag an gCiste Spreagtha, buíochas do Chonradh na Gaeilge. Funding is provided by the Ciste Spreagtha, thanks to Conradh na Gaeilge.
