The Burns supper was also an opportunity for the Keith Young Farmers to celebrate the achievements of both individuals and the club. Throughout the year, the club has competed in competitions with the national young farmers association and has won trophies in the industrial and construction sections, as well as in stock judging and field contests.

Plenty of trophies were handed out throughout the night, before the group enjoyed some haggis, neeps and tatties and some dancing.
