The talent was competitive and the judges had a hard job to pick the top three, however, Finvoy YFC’s very own Boy Band Take Thon took to the stage and later was awarded a very prestigious second place overall.

The club AGM was then next on the agenda.

It was held on the 16th January with the following office bearers being elected:
