On Saturday 20 September 2008, from Place Guillaume @ 14:00, till around 21:00. Enter a team on a discovery voyage through Luxembourg City to sample its lush history, rich culture, delicious gastronomy, exciting technology, and much more... Registration of teams can be made online from 26 August at www.discover-luxembourg.lu (50 Euros for a team of 4 people). About 50 teams are expected – to include clubs & associations, companies/offices, tourists, and families/friends. In fact, anyone can enter. For safety concerns, all teams must have at least one adult. Each team will collect a map with a series of clues to lure them across the city (on foot). Teams will explore a number of Event Stations to face an entertaining challenge. These challenges consist of tasty gastronomic samplings, intriguing cultural and historical puzzles, and active sporting elements - along with some stimulating brain-teasers. All will be fun with something for everyone! This event concludes with a prize-awarding ceremony. Food & drinks will be available for purchase during the accompanying live musical entertainment. In-depth knowledge of Luxembourg City will not be of any advantage! All information on the day will be in French, German & English.

“Towards Inclusion: Ulster Protestant Perspectives on Irish”
By Dr Ian Malcolm
Date: Thursday, February 12th 2009, 20.00
Venue: La Salle des Fêtes, European School
Tickets: €10
Further Information: ballinroe@yahoo.com
Dr Ian Malcolm is a native of Co. Armagh, Northern Ireland. He is a fluent Irish speaker and comes from the ulster unionist & protestant tradition. He served as editor of the Antrim Guardian for several years before becoming a sub-editor with the Belfast News Letter. Returning to full-time education he graduated in 2003 with a First Class Honours PhD in Celtic Studies from Queen's University, Belfast. Dr Malcolm has engaged in pioneering research into the attitudes of young Protestants in Northern Ireland towards the Irish language. He is an accomplished journalist and broadcaster, writing a column in the daily Irish language newspaper Lá Nua and commentating on Northern Irish political affairs in the Irish language electronic and broadcast media both in Northern Ireland and the Republic. He contributes regularly to Raidió na Gaeltachta, R.T.É. television, TG4, B.B.C. Northern Ireland, U.T.V. and Radio Ulster. In 2005 Dr Ian Malcolm was appointed to the Governing Authority of R. T. É. (Raidió Teilifís Éireann), the state broadcaster in the Republic of Ireland.
The Willibrord lecture series was initiated by Cumann Gaelach Lucsamburg in 2007 to celebrate the granting of official language status to the Irish language by the European Union on January 1st of that year. The lectures are held at the European School under the patronage of the Ambassador of Ireland. Former speakers include Professor Alan Titley of U.C.C. and Irish language poet Nuala Ní Dhomhnaill. The lectures are sponsored by Cultúr Éireann / Culture Ireland.
The objectives of the lecture series are:
1) To promote a greater awareness of Ireland's indigenous Gaelic language culture in Luxembourg.
2) To foster enhanced cultural and historic understanding amongst the peoples of Ireland and Luxembourg.
Towards this end the committee of Cumann Gaelach Lucsamburg agreed in 2008 to name the lecture series in honour of the Anglo Saxon missionary and patron saint of Luxembourg, St. Willibrord. St. Willibrord, who studied for 10 years in Ireland
( from 678 - 688 A. D. ), is both an historic embodiment of the ancient links binding Ireland and Luxembourg and a powerful symbol of the close cultural ties which unite all Europeans. Though not an Irishman, St. Willibrord is also, quite possibly, the first Irish language speaker to have set foot in Luxembourg upon his arrival here over one thousand years ago.
The lecture will be preceded by a performance of traditional Irish Music by the talented musicians of Comhaltas Luxembourg and will conclude with an informal reception at which members of the general public in attendance will have an opportunity to meet with Dr Malcolm and also to partake of a broad range of delicious wines and tasty food.
Tickets will be available at the door on the night or can be purchased in advance form the committee of Cumann Gaelach Lucsamburg or by contacting ballinroe@yahoo.com

Since there will be no “St. Patrick’s Experience” in the Place d’Armes this year, it’s back to The Black Stuff Marquee for The St. Patrick’s Day Party 2009. We intend to keep the party spirit going with an excellent line-up for the evening of the Tues.17th. March.
Kicking off are “The New Hamsterjams” who are well known locally and have played numerous venues throughout the country. Stephen Moynihan who entertained us last year in the Place d’Armes will also be there with his very own musical style.
From Ireland we have Feargal Mc Carthy and his band Sin É. Many will remember Feargal from his time in Luxembourg and previous gigs at The Black Stuff. Feargal will be providing the best of Irish drinking songs and other well loved classics.
Topping the bill are “The Mahones”. Based in Toronto they have toured extensively in Europe and the U.S. with bands like ‘The Dropkick Murphys”. Playing their own compositions in the style of “The Pogues” they are definitely not to be missed. We are thrilled to have them back again at The Black Stuff for what guarantees to be one fantastic night.
