Macra na Feirme
Céide
Macra na Feirme is the local branch of Macra, the national
voice of young farmers and rural youth between the ages of
17 and 35 in Ireland . Currently, the club has 17 members,
encompassing Ballycastle, Lacken, Kilfian, Belderrig and Glenamoy.
Céide
Macra is in its first year of existence, but is still one
of the most active clubs in the region. The start of the club
was marked by a fundraising table quiz in Healy's Bar, Ballycastle,
which was a massive success in terms of fundraising and attracting
new members. Since then we have carried on finely, embracing
Macra's key points of agriculture, sport, community involvement,
social life and travel.
For
anyone wishing to join Macra, incentives are keen. With discounts
from FBD, Bus Eireann and Xtra Vision to name but a few of
the perks of club membership. Membership costs just 20euro
a year, and guarantees a plethora of social and sporting activities
over the coming year. It also offers the chance to meet Macra
members from around the country, as travel between clubs is
strongly encouraged in Macra.
Find
us on Facebook if you would like to find out more, just search
for Céide Macra na Feirme.
Céide
Macra would like to thank the local community for their ongoing
support in funding and encouraging the club, and would like
to wish everyone a happy and healthy Christmas.
