The Captain Lowry Bursary Award
This is £1000 Bursary for someone in the Clogher Valley who is studying agriculture in one of the CAFRE campus.
This year’s winner was Jessica Mc Keown, she proved to be an invaluable asset to Ruth in the office prior to the show as well as home industries and the cattle section.
Thanks very much for all your help and wish you well in your future education.
The Arthur Thompson Memorial Trophy
The Arthur Thompson Memorial Trophy is presented to a young person who contributes to the successful running of the show.
This year the worthy recipient was Ethan Mc Girr. Ethan has being helping out at the show since he hit double digits and at only 17 he had dedicated over 7 summers already, from learning the ropes from his grandad Philip to taking a more active roll in being responsible to setting up trade exhibitors stands. There is a lot of unseen work that goes on and Ethan has given 100% to any job asked of him. The love for the show must be in his blood, with his granny as show secretary, his granda and mum in organising the horse field. Congratulations Ethan very well deserved
