Carraig na bhFear Macra na Feirme was founded in 1962 and has been an active body in the community ever since. Membership has grown steadily over the years and is now at 60. 

The club officers for the year 2000/2001 are:

Club Activities: 

The members of the club meet once a month and all have the opportunity to get involved in competitions, sports events and social functions, as well as farming related activities.  At present a team from the club is preparing for a drama competition being held at the end of the month. Soccer teams are doing well in the regional round of the sport.   A recent function organised by the club “Mr Chicky Babe” was very successful and an excellent nights entertainment. Club members took off to the slopes of Andorra for the regional Skiing trip a number of weeks ago.  The club has always been active in the community and contributions to charity organisations are made regularly by the members. An example of this is participation by members in a local youth mass.  Other activities enjoyed by members are Stock Judging, Public Speaking, Farm Skills, Dancing, Debating, and many educational courses like First Aid and welding.
