    Macra na Feirme is a voluntary organisation for young people between the ages of 17 and 35. The organisation consists of a nationwide network of clubs with five key areas of activity: agriculture, sports, travel, public speaking and performing arts.
    Macra is constantly recruiting new members and is a great way to meet new people from different parts of the country. Almost every weekend there are different activities and competitions organised. There are currently 8 clubs in Meath: Ardcath, Athboy, Enfield, Dunshaughlin, Kilcloon, Longwood, Moynalty and Robinstown/Dunderry.

    If anyone is interested in joining macra or looking for more information you can contact me (David Cummins) at 086-4073071 and i will put you in contact with whichever club that is nearest to you. Also check out the website www.macra.ie for more info.

    How many people attend the Ardcath meeting?

    I am currently the secretary of Enfield Macra. Ive been in the organisation a little ofer a year and a half now and the one thing i will say about it is the amount of people ive met and got to know not only in Meath but around the county too and the social life that goes with it. There is loads of social outings and competitions. For example next saturday night i am organising a trip to the dogs in mullingar. On sunday there is clay pidgeon shooting organised up in balbriggan and sunday week we ahve organised go-karting and paintballing. Usually after events it ends up in some pub! But basically if someone wants to do something like that we will then organise it. Id be encourage anyone and everyone to join a club.
