This is a one-day event on May 18, 2013. We're meeting up at Marylhurst University, Marylhurst, Oregon (and hopefully, continuing the group after!). The group is for anyone interested in the Irish language and culture in the Portland Metro Area. It's a place to meet new people and practice your Irish! There have been groups of people meeting for several years for language, music, dance, etc., we're hoping to bring these groups together--and make new friends, too! The event started six years ago …

This is a group for anyone interested in learning and playing the modern version of the ancient Irish sport of Hurling, the fastest game on grass. Think of a combination of soccer, hockey, and lacrosse. "A truly beautiful game, the Irish have perfected violence and speed and given it a league to play in. " "First we hurl, then we drink."
