    Summer schools, an evaluation

    Often thought of going to one, such as the McGill one. Might have a chance to do so this year. Can anyone, speaking from experience or reports, give an evaluation of any of the summer schools held around the country ? Not just the subjects, but the craic ( if any ), etc.

    What? Like Institute/Ashfield college summer courses or public school extra-excurricular stuff?

    The only one that springs to mind is the McGill one in Donegal, usually with a Northern theme. From time to time, you would read of speeches given at summer schools / seminars but the names of any of them escape me right now. Anyone here with experience / knowledge of any such event ?

    Indeed, if I'm asking "who's your daddy?", it's probably a genuine inquiry. Probably.
