Newtownards Young Farmers' Club get off to a nimble new year

Newtownards Young Farmers' Club have kicked off the new year with a bang.

The club firstly held their  AGM which votes in the new committee, switching from the previous in April 2016.

A Dutch auction was held which raises money for the club’s chosen charity for the year, and a fitness night was hosted by a local gym, trying to get everyone back into action post Christmas holidays.

The club has also been busy raising funds for the upkeep and maintenance of their hall.
