The Young Farmers' Clubs of Ulster (YFCU) was founded in 1929 by W.S Armour〔(【引用サイトリンク】work=http://www.yfcu.org/what-we-do )〕 in Limavady, Northern Ireland. Since its creation, YFCU has grown into an association of 60 local self-governing and youth-led clubs, with a headquarters based in Belfast. The association is strategically managed by a peer-elected Board of Directors who serve as the Executive Committee.〔http://www.yfcu.org/what-we-do/presidential-team〕 YFCU is for young people aged 12 to 25 years. The association is strictly non-political and non-sectarian and is open to anyone, no matter of his or her ethnic background, religion or profession. There is no requirement to be a farmer or come from a farming background to join – the only requirement for membership is an interest in rural life. == History == William Rankin, BAgr, put it accurately in a series of articles he contributed to ''The Ulster Young Farmer'' about the early days of the movement when he wrote: :"It required courage, vision, inspiration and absolute belief in one's own convictions to attempt anything like creating an organisation for young farmers in those days, and Northern Ireland was fortunate that such a man was found in the person of W.S. Armour'."〔The Ulster Young Farmer. Vol 23, No 7, April 1969, p.13.〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Young Farmers' Clubs of Ulster」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
