Meetings are held regularly in Walshe’s Lounge, Charlestown, Co.Mayo,
and are usually very well attended, lots of information shared.
The first Club Meeting was held in The Gateway Hotel ,Swinford, Co.Mayo on the 13th September, 2004, Ten years this year, it does not seem that long ago. Since then, our membership has increased steadily.
Many events have been organised;
- Annual Spring and Autumn Show & Sales are held in Castlerea Mart., Co. Roscommon.
- Some Club Members travel the length and breadth of Ireland to Shows and win numerous trophies.
- Numerous Farm visits have been organised. 25 people travelled by Bus & Ferry to the Shorthorn Show & Sale in Sterling, Scotland last Autumn. It was a very worthwhile and enjoyable trip.
- Members have a great input in the Shorthorn section of Bonniconlon Show. Bonniconlon Show is one of the biggest in Ireland and getting better each year. Shorthorn Beef burgers, supplied and cooked by Caroline Rigney, Limerick are always in great demand.
