Mid Antrim UFU group welcome new chairperson and mark retirements
MID Antrim AGM was held on Tuesday 10th February.
Following the AGM Andrew Sayers will take on the role as group chairperson.
We wish him all the best during his term in office.
Andrew will be following on from Timmy Rea who brought a great deal of enthusiasm to the role during his tenure.
Everyone in the group would like to thank Timmy for his efforts over the past two years. Thanks must also go to Alexander Kinnear, Ulster Farmers’ Union parliamentary officer for concluding our AGM with a discussion and update on current agricultural affairs.
The Ulster Farmers’ Union technical team remains a crucial support for farmers in our group and continue to see this helping our local members. Our local technical officer is Chris Breen and can be contacted through the group office.
In May, Mid Antrim UFU group saw the retirement of two long standing group managers, Alan Finlay and Robert McMullan. They both have been instrumental in the success of the Agency and have grown UFU membership over the last 30 plus years.
They have provided strong leadership always offering guidance, support and advice to colleagues, staff, customers and UFU members. On behalf of the Mid Antrim UFU group, we would like to wish both Alan and Robert a long and healthy retirement and thank them for their dedication as group managers of the Mid Antrim group.
We would like to extend a warm welcome to all members to visit the stand at Ballymena Show on Saturday 30th May. It will be a great opportunity to catch up with members and enjoy a cup of tea.
