1957 Barndarrig, Meeting of the National Farmers’ Association

Source: Wicklow People, 30.11.1957

Miss Elizab eth Bobbett explained that it was a special meeting to enrol new members, and she had been appointed at the last meeting to act as organising secretary to a small committee who were asked to make a canvass of the district. She was glad to say they had got in a large number of new members, but some farmers had said they would attend the next meeting, so all had been circularise and the meeting was the result. Several farmers had said they were only waiting to be asked to join the NFA. She had asked Mr. Henry Meredith, who was their representative on the National Executive of the NFA to attend the meeting as he would give them the fullest information of the work of the NFA.
