Not many people may have been aware of the Monasterevin Forum that was hosted on a local Monasterevin website.  It was an active and interesting meeting place for people (over 140 memebers) to meet in Cyberland and discuss topics relevant to Monasterevin and indeed topics in general.  There were a number of areas of keen interest, GAA, all the clubs been represented, restaurants, movies, the train station, recreation centre, parks, walkways, the graveyard, schools, sport in general, life in general.  People discussed; family histories, directions, doctors, housing estates anything you could think of.  There were very artistic people on there, writing poetry, having spelling competitions, photographic competitions etc. 

I probably should have made a list of the topics now that I think of it, too late now.  It was a local person who took on this responibilty in their spare time and they did a wonderful job, it probably was up there for 4 or 5 years, quite a commitment in time and effort and they should be congratulated for their contribution.  This has left a void, one that may be taken up with a person, who has something similar set up for Celbridge in County Kildare.  He has generously offered to expand his forum and accomodate Monasterevin.  There maybe other options but in the meantime the URL for the potential new site is     http://campbells.proboards52.com/index.cgi  I will change the link on the front page of this website to reflect this also.

Meanwhile if any one out there has an alternative suggestion, e-mail me at the address on this webiste.  This was a very usefull resource for the town and it will be missed.  Once again thanks to the original Forum Administrator for all his time and effort over the last number of years,  It was very much appreciated.
