Fun packed programme for Young Farmers

Approximately 40 members of the club bounced the night away at The Jump Boxx, Banbridge, on Spetember 14.

The club then hosted a ‘Know Your Neighbour’ Charity Tractor and Truck Run at The Outlet Park, on September 23. Money raised went towards The Children’s Heartbeat Trust and club funds.
