Macra has also helped members become friends who attend the many local festivals and events together. Clubs have arranged groups to travel to the Willie Clancy Festival, Lisdoonvarna and the Fleadh. In between Macra events members organise and take part in first aid courses, go karting, paintballing, charity tractor runs, mountain walks, cycling trips, ice skating and kayaking. Macra literally has something for everyone.

Members from the Ennis and Sixmilebridge-Kilmurry clubs will also be in attendance to go through any questions. Finger food will also be served on the night.

Speaking ahead of the launch of Kilrush Macra na Feirme, Chairperson of Clare Macra na Feirme, Cillian Griffey stated that,

‘This is a valuable opportunity for young people in West Clare to get involved with a youth organisation which is open to all not just farmers.

Macra is contributing to the sustainable development of rural communities right across the country. We in Clare Macra believe there is a lack of organisations for young people and feel the launch of this club will bring huge benefit to local communities in the area.’
