Taxi Service in Kinvara: Our local driver, James Fahy, has decided to retire from taxi-driving and will finish up on Sunday 4th June. We would like to take this opportunity to thank James for his many years of providing a great service to our community and wish him the very best for the future. It does, however, leave us without a taxi service in the village and surrounding areas. This is a much needed service. If you, or anyone you know, hold a taxi licence and have some time on your hands, this is a great opportunity to work locally!

Town twinning visit to Locoal Mendon: Last Easter weekend eight of us travelled to Locoal Mendon and received a wonderful welcome. The community minibus picked us up at Nantes airport and transported us all weekend. There was a reception in the Mairie on the Saturday morning where we exchanged gifts. We presented them a framed photograph of the Burren and we received an artistic timber representation of an implement used for turning Galettes. When the formalities were over we were taken to visit the megalithic site of the Menhirs in Carnac. A picnic and a stroll on the beach in Carnac followed and later a barbecue, music and wine tasting in the home of John Paul and Ghislaine Mahevas.
