Sincere condolences to all the Power family on the untimely passing of Virgil.
A lovely man, tragically taken too soon.
He was well known to everyone in Stradbally and beyond, and will be very much missed by all.
RIP Virgil

Wishing the Stradbally ladies team the best of luck tomorrow, nearly all our staff playing on the team!
best of luck Grainne, Ava, Mary and Jessica! 🔴⚪️🔴⚪️

Today we say farewell, and best of luck to Sarah Mullaney as she ventures off to the 'big smoke' Dublin, in the next stage of her career after a long stint in college.

As everyone that knows Sarah, she greets everyone with a big smile and has a great personality.
Today is her last day in the shop, and we want to say thanks for all her help throughout the years!

*** we are looking for 1 additional staff to look after some evening, and some day shifts. This might suit someone in transition year, or someone local. ***

Please send your CV into the shop if interested, or alternatively email to [email protected]

Thanks

As a mark of respect, our shop will close tomorrow Sunday 3rd, at 11.15 and will re-open at 1pm, so our staff can attend the funeral of Ava Battye.

Congratulations to Michelle who won our in-store prize of cooking equipment!

Best of luck to the Waterford Camogie team tomorrow! Also to a local star we know very well Orla Hickey 🔵⚪️

Good Afternoon all,

For the month of February we are doing a fundraiser for Adrija.

In May 2022 Adrija was accidently hit by a car on her bike on the way home from school, outside the friary college. Adrija requires extensive surgery and we hope to gather as much funds as possible so she can get this treatment.

Her parents would be very grateful for all help from the Stradbally community and beyond. Many people would know Adrija's Dad Julius from working on the car wash in Dungarvan Nissan, a lovely genuine man who just wants to see her daughter smile again.

We have some excellent prizes, all thanks to our suppliers who have come together to help us raise these funds.

Tickets are available in the shop. We will keep you posted throughout the fundraise.

There is also a gofundme page set up for Adrija :
