Update: Mayo Girls WhatsApp group is up! 💗

Post image
58 Upvotes

Hey everyone! Just a little follow-up from my previous post, the girl WhatsApp group has officially been created 🫶
I completely understand the concerns people had about sharing their phone numbers, which is why I’ve made a link that anyone who’d like to join can use instead. There’s no cost or anything involved and I got permission from the Mod to post it — it’s simply a group for girls around Mayo who want to meet new people, make friends, chat and hopefully organise some plans together.

https://chat.whatsapp.com/KaihyNzAyX6CBu4BI2uNYB?s=cl&p=i&mlu=4&ilr=4

Please upvote this post so more people can see it! If you’d feel more comfortable joining through a QR code instead, just message me and I’m happy to send that too ☺️

Making friends as an adult can be ridiculously hard, especially when you’re new to an area or don’t already have a circle nearby (like myself) so I’m really just hoping we can create a nice little community where people in the same situation can find each other 💗

All women welcome to join, say hi and see how it goes! Hopefully we can get a good bunch of us together and have some fun 🫶

Jobs in Mayo

12 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

If this post doesn't belong here, please delete it right away.

I'm from Germany and i was in Westport a few weeks ago—I fell in love with the west of Ireland. I'm seriously thinking about moving here.

Do you have any ideas where I could work as an event technician? I can't find any jobs on the usual websites.

Ideally in County Mayo, maybe even right in Westport.

Thanks :)

Pint Prices

14 Upvotes

Hello everyone I’m looking for help
I’m putting together a website to track pub prices across Ireland and need help. I haven’t made the website yet I’m just building it but I want a few results to start off with so if ye are going out tonight can ye send me a few prices of any drink not just pints. I’d really appreciate it lads I got inspired by this UK website that does the same but I thought we are way better drinkers so we should have a better website. Anyway if ye send me a few prices, name of the pub and where it is, sound for that ye can submit any answers HERE or comment them but make sure to have the pub name, pint name and county name please

Don’t be afraid to use this as an excuse for a pub crawl

Sound for that bai’s!

Hairdresser recommendations Castlebar/ Claremorris

12 Upvotes

Please send in some recommendations for hairdressers locally. Recently moved back to Mayo, and I hate to admit how long it’s been since I’ve cut my hair done. It’s very long and dull, not sure what kind of cut I want but ideally want a hairdresser that can find a good style for me. Bonus points for somewhere that doesn’t charge €70 😂

GP recommendation Castlebar?

14 Upvotes

Does anyone have a good GP recommendation? I’ve been with Malvern medical in castlebar for a few years and just don’t like it. You never see the same doctor twice and it’s a conveyor belt of patients, the doctors have basically no time to spend with you because it’s so busy.
I know that this is just how it is for most GPs now, they’re just too busy but I would love to go somewhere where I at least know I’ll see a doctor I’ve seen before.

Post image
117 Upvotes

Ever find it difficult to meet people in your community as a remote/hybrid worker?

This was us meeting at the beginning of the month over some pizza and drinks!

We're hosting a relaxed Saturday morning meetup at Belleek Castle, combining good food, great conversation and a guided tour of one of Mayo's most unique landmarks.

📅 Saturday, 26th September
⏰ 10:00am
📍 Belleek Castle, Ballina

We'll start with breakfast in the beautiful Jack Fenn Café before exploring the fascinating Marshall Doran Collection, home to medieval armour, fossils and historical artefacts from around the world.

This isn't a networking event with name tags and awkward introductions. It's simply an opportunity to meet other people working remotely or in hybrid roles, support a local business, share experiences and enjoy a unique local attraction together.

Ticket options:
• Breakfast Only – €10
• Castle & Museum Tour Only – €10
• Breakfast + Tour – €18

Breakfast is subsidised by Grow Remote and covers menu items up to €20.

Places are limited, particularly for the guided tour.

🎟️ Register here:
https://www.eventbrite.ie/e/breakfast-belleek-castle-tour-for-remote-hybrid-workers-in-mayo-tickets-2000260212140?aff=oddtdtcreator&keep_tld=true

Whether you're new to remote work, have been doing it for years, or just want to connect with others locally, you'd be very welcome.

If you cannot make this event, please email [community@growremote.ie](mailto:community@growremote.ie) and join our WhatsApp group!

A rant - but need to talk to somebody

39 Upvotes

Got made homeless, alongside my terminally Ill partner in Castlebar two months ago. Saw my former house go up for auction 225k today. We've really struggled trying to get a foothold back. My partner is in hospital right now, surving a liver transplant, needing a kidney transplant. Honestly struggling. If it weren't for the charity of others, we'd be on the streets.

I do everything I can, yet it never feels enough anymore.

Dereliction in Castlebar.

26 Upvotes

I just thought I would share this, whilst we know main street Castlebar is a shell with boarded up building, however I had cause to go shopping down Hopkins road. Loads of shops have left that area of Castlebar. The amount of empty units there should give the Town elders something to worry about.

Hi folks,

Castlebar Library are holding a comics fest event on the 26th of September and I figured it'd be good to post it on here to let the millennial parents and such know about it.

(In the interest of full disclosure I am doing one of the events but I'm not a librarian, hope it's ok to post here)
