Bring what you'd bring to any other part of the country, plus a dictionary and a notepad and pen

What Micilin Muc said, and also bring stuff for the fancy dress nights!
Don't forget sun cream either...
And an adaptor is handy if you're a girl, because sometimes there's only one socket in the room and you can imagine the queue to use straighteners/hair-dryers before a céilí

If you play music, bring the instrument with ya!
A pretty notebook for the goodbye notes - you'll be glad you brought one.

Enjoy- you'll have the craic!

Your best chatup lines for those gorgeous women

But yeah, as pog it said - instrument is a must! Nothing like a few beers and an auld session.

raingear!Check the course policy re phones,ghds etc.

conchubhar1 · 24-06-2009, 12:29

midget repellent of some variety

drink? (depending on age, ar ndóigh)

Instrument, (Guitarists, etc are usually the very popular ones on the course

).
If you can juggle, dance,etc don't be afraid to release your inhibitions. They can come in handy in drama, and talent shows.
Fancy dress... Stuff you can fit easily into different situations. I remember in mine (Col. Lurgan) there were themed ceilithe.. County colours (recommended), tranny (Basically guys wore girls clothes and vice versa lol), beach themed (Lifeguard, surfer dude/babe)....
Bring your swimming gear...even if you are not planning to swim.
A few packs of your favourite sweets, just in case you are hungry and to share with roomies, if you want.
A mobile phone, books and magazines, if you are willing to risk it.
Pen, paper, notebook (At the end particularly girls you can write notes, random stuff, memories, etc in them)
Also open mind/attitude... You should be fine in general.

Have a brilliant time doing...agus ag cleachtadh Gaeilge. Slan

Dia duit,

Le agahaidh an gaeltacht, go leor eadai, hata, lynx, uachtar greine,
De gnath nil cead fon poca ar na gcursai ach breathann se ar an colaiste. Nuair a bhi me colaiste na bhfiann, nil cead fon poca no focloir! Feach ar na rialacha riomh an gcursa!

Ach an rud is tabhtacht bainn taitneamh as!!

Slan agus go n-eiri an t-adh leat!

Nuggles · 08-07-2009, 14:26

Thug leat beagán cop on.

Tá crowd scolairí ag fanacht i mo theach, tá siad chomh thick leis an mballa.

AGUS fág an "oh mo dhia" **** sin sa mbaile.
