Point Coffee opens this coming Tuesday in QP

 

Earlier today the new coffee shop in Quigley’s Point welcomed some family and friends for a taster and viewing of the new premises. It was a delight to be part of that taster and welcome. Although very much settled in Muff, I am and will always be a Quigley's Point gal at heart, so this coffee shop is a special one for myself here at Craic On Muff. 

Point Coffee is due to open its doors to the public on Tuesday 21st July at 7am. It will allow the village of Quigley’s Point and those passing by to fuel up on coffee at dawn, and be fully awake come the morning rush hour of work, family, and day-to-day life.

Being the first coffee shop in Quigley’s Point there is undoubtedly much excitement about this opening. Local business, neighbours and friends all popped in today for a nosey. And no one was disappointed.

You will find a lovely seating area within. As all is new it’s got that lovely newness feel to it, and yet the smell of coffee makes it feel homely. You will find a lovely spacious covered outdoor seated area also, so there’s room to bring that extra friend always!! Above the main window you will find the 'Post Office' sign, a direct nod to Jonathan's Dad's family business in the village for many years. On the shelf above the dining area you will find Marie, Jonathan's mother, looking down on them all, and no doubt so very proud. You just feel that Quigley's Point and the people who were always at its heart are still all around you. It's homely in more ways than one. 

Proprietor Jonathan McDaid, a native of QP, is excited and naturally apprehensive all together, as he prepares to open his doors on Tuesday next. Jonathan is supported by his brother-in-law Timmy in the new venture.

Point Coffee is destined to be a meeting point for friends, an eating place for people, and at its heart a self-care place for all – coffee shops allow one to escape the mundane ánd/or the madness of daily life, and it’s a space you can go with folk, or just go alone. Point Coffee will welcome businesses, locals, family and tourists alike.


But please do bear in mind as you visit next week, that this is a new venture and like all new ventures there can be teething problems; just let the staff find their way around and be patient. The coffee and treats will come and they will grow. Point Coffee will flow and Quigley’s Point will breathe new life back into the village too.

Welcome to the world Point Coffee and everyone in Muff wishes you every success. We will be visiting ….. often!!

Mura gets ready for retirement!

  In just over one weeks’ time, our village will have another retiree. A retiree who has given so much to Muff. He moved to Muff from neighbouring Fahan in 1989. Although working in the village prior to this, Mura McLaughlin has long since established himself as a permanent fixture, community member and one of the hardest working members of Muff village. Mura was a Customs Man from 1981 through to 1992. He then proceeded on a career with Irish Life. In the early 90’s Mura began volunteering in the village and was always there to lend a hand at the preparation and delivery of festivals and more. And of course you could find him on the dramatic stage too. In 2007 Mura began working with what is now Muff Community Development. And in 2011 he became manager there. Mura has a team of committee members behind him and a team of workers alongside him, but he himself has been instrumental in much of the development that has taken place in our community in the past 25 years. The fabulo...

Christmas Dance at Muff Community Hall with Shunie Crampsey

 There really is something magical watching people dancing. From contemporary songs to the very traditional 'Shoe the Donkey', it was all things dancing this Sunday night. The people of Muff and far beyond showcased true magic on the dancefloor tonight at St. Mary's Hall here in the village.  Shunie Crampsey has been providing the music and song here in the community hall monthly for the past 18+ months. Tonight was the Christmas dance and it showcased the importance of music and dance for the soul. People coming together to sit and listen, to get up and dance, to just talk. And a fabulous supper was enjoyed by all, catered by The Cabin.  Events like this show what community is all about. And the community within the village hall tonight felt very strong and very festive. People came from all over Inishowen and Derry to enjoy the dance. And no doubt will return in the future to do likewise. Huge thanks must go to all the members of Muff hall who work hard behind the scene...
