The Fort, Ballyknock, Tandragee

On a warm mid-summer’s day there’s nothing quite like strawberries and cream and a glass of Pimms to get one into party mood. Meeting at The Fort, Tandragee, members enjoyed convivial company, a bumper afternoon tea and last, but not least, the chance to battle it out for the prestigious title of ‘UAH Egg and Spoon Champion, 2026’.

Many thanks to all those who supported the event and for making the day such fun. Special thanks to Emma Mathers of the Events Committee for all her help with the catering and to Brett Hannam, husband of the former Events Chair, joint-host and master strawberry-huller extraordinaire.
