COMMUNITY ALERT
The Tip of the Week is- Protecting Your Home from Break-ins. Number one do not advertise that you are away. The first thing that a burglar looks for when choosing a house to break into is the one with no one in. If your house looks occupied when you are out, most burglars will simply pass by. Use automatic light timers, also timers for radios and TV’s. Never leave doors/windows unlocked and don’t hide a key outside. Ask a neighbour to pick up your post if you are away.
BINGO
There is Bingo every Monday in Terryglass Community Hall at 8.30pm sharp organised by the Shannon Rovers GAA Club with great money prizes, including an excellent Jackpot of €1,000.
