Many of you may have noticed that there's a campaign on at the moment to ensure that Ballinasloe is included in plans for the Greenway between Athlone and Galway. To most of us, it's a no-brainer. Anyone who has had a holiday at home this year can see the amenity value of these projects and they life they bring with them. A project like this opens up rural communities to tourism and Ballinasloe has more than its fair share of places to go and things to see-be they unspoilt landscapes or historical and archaeological sites. Also, something like this benefits the locals, as it provides us with a safe place to exercise and encourages us to be sociable too.
The Committee will be putting forward an official submission on behalf of the Club. Any members who wish to have a say, please get in touch via email (roswaywalkers@gmail.com). As the deadline is September 7th, we'll be preparing the submission over the weekend. Don't let this chance pass to make something of our wonderful home place!
