President launches YFCU's Got Talent Competition
Hosted by Cool FM’s Pete Snodden, the event will be held in the Tullyglass Hotel, Ballymena on Saturday 7th January 2017 and is set to be a talented, entertaining and show stopping evening. Tickets for the event are on sale now from HQ and are priced £12 (including programme).
YFCU President Roberta Simmons commented: “I’m absolutely delighted to announce my President’s charity event this year, ‘YFCU’s Got Talent’. I’m looking to put on a night of sheer talent from our own YFCU members and there is plenty that our members can bring to the stage be it dancing, magic, juggling, stand-up comedy and I have no doubt we will be suitably entertained.

Roberta continued: “The YFCU has an important role to play not just in the lives of those who come from farming backgrounds but to all who are interested in rural life.
“While everyone talks of social networking these days, this is a very real rural social network involving many from the community and this will be another event that will bring young people together.
“I have chosen Macmillan Cancer Support as the charity to receive half of the proceeds from the event because they are not only a charity whose staff are tremendous servants of the whole community throughout Northern Ireland but they have helped a few of our members this year who, unfortunately, had to undergo treatment for cancer.
