A fantastic team of past and present members worked hard behind the scenes to prepare and serve a delicious barbeque supper and the members of Lylehill Young Farmers’s Club have extended thanks to Marquess Meats at Muckamore for supplying the burgers and sausages for the BBQ.
Donations are still coming in following the event, but organisers have confirmed that more than £1,925 has been raised for this year’s nominated charity, Rural Support, represented at the tractor run by John Taggart and Emma Louise Kells.
A spokesperson for the event stated: “Rural Support is an incredible charity which aims to listen, guide and connect with farmers.
