Lisnamurrican Young
Farmers Club
Lisnamurrican Young Farmers
Club currently has about 53 members, both
male and female, aged between 15 and 30
years. The fortnightly meetings have always
been held in St Patrick's Church Hall on
Monday evenings at 8.30 pm.
Many activities and outings are arranged
throughout the year, eg cookery, talks, games night, visits
to the Motor Show, Funderland and dry-slope skiing. Club members
take part in competitions and other activities organised by
the Young Farmers Clubs of Ulster Headquarters - public speaking,
crafts, floral art, stock judging, music and drama. It is hoped
to use the Community Centre in future to practise for some of
these competitions.
Members organise an annual Church Service,
Parents and Friends concert and a Dinner Dance. Usually a day
trip is organised as well as a sports night, a scavenger hunt
and a barbecue. In addition, several discos are held throughout
the year.
During the summer months various sports nights
are held by different Young Farmers Clubs at which members compete
in five-a-side football, tug of war and "It's a Knockout".
It is not necessary to be a farmer in order to join the Young
Farmers Club.
