Supporting Abbeyfeale

Please support the small businesses in our town so as to enable them to stay open.

Don’t forget that they are the shop owners that support us when we are out looking for sponsorship to keep our sports clubs and youth facilities open.

They are the people who are always willing to come up with a voucher or a bottle of wine for a spot prize but if we don’t support them they’ll all be gone.

So the next time you want to buy an outfit or something for the house see what’s available in town first before heading for the city.

Buying the basics like toilet rolls, milk, bread, newspapers, soap etc. etc, in a small shop means a lot to them and helps keep the money circulating in the area.

Tips On Conserving Water

Place a full litre bottle of water in the cistern in the toilet which will reduce the volume of water at each flush.

Have shorter showers – an average shower uses 10 litres of water per minute, turn off the tap when washing your teeth.

Use a basin to wash the ware and then use the water for watering the flowers. 

Pour the cold tea out of the pot on the vegetables. Only do a wash when you have a full load.

Invest in a water butt for under the down pipe.

Bingo At The Glórach

Bingo every Monday night at the Glórach from 8.30pm.

The Maine Valley Post has, is and always will be a free resource for the people of the locality and its wider diaspora.

When we started in 2013, the intention was to be a weekly, online newsletter. Over time, the site has evolved into a much different beast with multiple updates on a daily basis.
Because of its nature as a digital publication, it brings with it certain expenses: computers and cameras that require updating and maintenance; internet hosting and access; to say nothing of the time and hard work that goes into the site. It all adds up…
Our online community has always been our greatest asset and a vocal supporter of the Maine Valley Post since day one.
