Seven members swapped the green fields of Randalstown for the snowy French mountains as they enjoyed a week on the YFCU ski trip to Val Thorens. Thankfully all members made it back in one piece.

February began with the club’s AGM at which the following members were voted into office: Robert Smyth (club leader); Ryan Bonar (club secretary); Mark Johnston (club treasurer) and Kathleen Galloway (club PRO).
