Ahoghill YFC's busy winter programme draws to an end
The Club ended 2016 on a high as they celebrated their 85th anniversary with an anniversary dinner in November when the last few generations of Ahoghill Young farmers were out in full force at a night which enabled the club to present a cheque of £5000 to their chosen charity Turning Point NI.
Over the last year, members helped the Ahoghill in Bloom team by litter-picking, hedge cutting and weeding and in November were invited to help celebrate their Champion of Champions Award at Stormont.
