Bleary YFC take part in events around Northern Ireland

In April, members attended the Co Armagh YFC Variety Show, showcasing the wealth of talent within the club. The Bleary Band entertained the audience with an outstanding musical performance, while Amy Ritchie delivered a moving poem celebrating Northern Ireland.

Several members also took part in the county production, Classroom Chaos, which proved to be a huge hit with the audience.

May saw two Bleary YFC relay teams participate in the Belfast City Marathon.

Both teams completed the challenge with great determination, raising an impressive £1,145 for Air Ambulance NI, a charity that provides vital emergency service across Northern Ireland.

The club also held its final meeting of the year, with members enjoying a trip to watch Ulster Rugby take on the Stormers, rounding off the club programme on a high before the summer break.

In June, members attended Lurgan Show, where they spent the day engaging with visitors and promoting the club through a range of interactive competitions, including “Guess the number of balloons in the tractor” and “Guess the weight of the lamb”.

The event provided an excellent opportunity to connect with the local community and to show what young farmers is all about.

The month concluded with a visit to Co Fermanagh for the annual John Bradley Challenge, which this year took the form of a soapbox race. Bleary YFC’s team, Bleary’s Bramleys, enjoyed a fantastic evening of friendly competition, laughter and fellowship with fellow members from across the Young Farmers' Clubs of Ulster.

The past three months have been filled with community involvement, fundraising, friendship and fun, and Bleary YFC looks forward to another exciting season ahead.
