The YFCU Gala was held in the Millennium Forum, Londonderry and members put on a brilliant performance of their production entitled ‘Give a Ship’ which saw the club picking up awards for Most Innovative Musical Moment, Best Choreography and also winning the Best Performance of the Night!

This couldn’t have been possible without producers Jimmy and Judy King and Melissa McCombe to whom all at the club are extremely thankful.

The following weekend saw the YFCU AGM & Conference with Glarryford reaping more awards.

Congratulations must go to Peter Alexander who gained 2nd place in Top Club Leader in Northern Ireland and Ruth McCloy who gained 2nd place in Top Treasurer in Northern Ireland! The club is also extremely pleased to announce that they are now also ‘Club of The Year’ in Northern Ireland.
