On Friday 29th January 2010, The Laurencetown, Lenaderg and Tullylish Community Association (L.L.T.C.A.) paid tribute to Robert Stockley, Community Development Officer, who is moving to pastures new.
Robert has faithfully served the community for the past 12 years and was held in the highest regard by all members of the community.

Danielle - a hugely talented flautist played two beautiful classic pieces for us.

And they have now become a trio, with Lynn's husband Paul joining in on guitar.
