It will also develop and improve their own farm business though information evenings and farm walks, take advantage of special offers available to club members and provide a platform to socialise with like minded people.

The event was a UK wide event to celebrate the appointment of local man David Perry as UK President for this year.

Following the event Carla Lockhart MLA said, “I was delighted to attend this prestigious event and to see so many people visiting from right across the UK. There was a wide range of farmers from across the UK in attendance.
