Ballywalter Young Farmers’ Club enjoyed a highly successful and memorable weekend at the AGM and conference 2026, held at the Silverbirch Hotel, Omagh, from Friday 24th to Sunday 26th April.

The club was especially proud to celebrate the election of Kristina Fleming as president of the Young Farmers' Clubs of Ulster.

Her appointment marks a significant achievement for both herself and Ballywalter YFC, and members are confident she will represent the organisation with distinction in the year ahead. Recognition must also be given to former club secretary Eirinn Braniff, who delivered an excellent address as part of her vice president campaign, narrowly missing election on this occasion. Ballywalter YFC was further honoured to receive the Joan K Dobbs Cup, awarded to the club achieving the highest overall points across all proficiency competitions at final level.

This achievement reflects the dedication, talent and commitment of members throughout the year. Individual success was also celebrated, with Joshua McClements achieving outstanding results in the 25–30 Ulster Young Farmer competition.
