Ahoghill YFC relaunches in 80th anniversary year

A number of past members have been meeting regularly over these last three months and are putting in place the structures necessary for the reformation of the club which has been dormant for the past five years.

Ahoghill YFC is one of the oldest clubs in Northern Ireland, having been formed in 1931. So what better time to re-launch the club than in their 80th Anniversary year!

This double celebration will take place on Friday, August 5, in the form of a hog roast BBQ at the Ballymena Rugby Club, Eaton Park starting at 7.30 p.m.

This will be an evening of good food, games and family entertainment. There will be bouncy castles for all ages and a rodeo bull will lock horns with new and past members alike to find out who will be crowned the ‘cowboy king’. T

ickets have just gone on general sale and will be on a first come first served basis and are keenly priced at £10 for adults, 16 years and under £5, with children less than 5 years old free of charge.

There will be two special nights for ticket sales in ‘the house’ at First Ahoghill Presbyterian Church on Friday July 8 and on Wednesday, July 20. Both nights from 8-9.30pm.

The re-launch committee have also now in place eight club meetings which will commence on Tuesday, September 6, three of which will be in-house with five being held at various venues incorporating trips away.

Anyone can keep up to date by following the club on Facebook. The committee would also welcome any business who would like to sponsor the club and help them ‘take-off’ in 2011.
