Members of a variety of community and sports groups visited Ballinrobe recently from Luzinay, France.   A heritage walk was led by Averil Staunton and joined by members of the group together with the Ballinrobe Development Council, Chairman Mr. Rory O'Neill and local Councillors.

A successful twinning is on the cards for Luzinay and Ballinrobe with culture, tourism, sports and student exchanges being explored.

After their walk on Saturday 26th May 2012 the group were treated to a wonderful buffet lunch prepared by Maureen Harrington and her very helpful committee and volunteers at the Active Retirement Hall, Parish Centre.

Entertainment followed by pupils of the local Community School with a variety of tunes and dancing being performed and organized by Mr. Willie Culkeen, Vice Principal.
