Fáinne Wearers’ Ball 2014 (LBI)
An bhfuil Fáinne Airgid nó Fáinne Óir agat nó an cainteoir dúchais thú? Fiú amháin má tá tú féin ag streachailt leis an ngramadach ‘s é do bheatha ag an “Fáinne Wearers’ Ball”. I rith na deireadh seachtaine bíonn seans ag ‘chuile dhuine againn ár n-oilteachta a chur os ard. Má chaitheann tú fáinne ba chóir go mbeadh rún diongbháilte agat bheith i láthair ag an deireadh seachtaine sármhaith seo. Bíonn gach rud faoin deireadh seachtaine seo spéisiúil. Fanaimid ag carróstlanna compordaí, ithimid ag proinnteach iontach agus bíonn príomhchócaire den chéad scoth againn chun aire a thabhairt dúinn. Bigí diongbháilte agus áirithint a dhéanamh go luath an bhliain seo chugainn.
Do you have a Silver Fáinne, a Gold Fáinne or are you a fluent speaker? Even if you’re still struggling with the grammar you’re all are welcome at the “Fáinne Wearers’ Ball”. During the weekend we all get to show off our skills. If you own a fáinne then you should make it a point of attending this excellent weekend. Everything about this weekend is special. We stay at comfortable motels, eat at a great restaurant and have a superior chef to take care of us. Make a point of making your reservations early next year.
