If
this is your idea of what a young farmer is then you would be wrong! (Im getting
a bit technical with this I think)
Alberbury YFC is a member of the 900 member strong Shropshire Young Farmers Clubs. There are more than 700 Young Farmers’ Clubs (YFCs) located throughout England and Wales, dedicated to supporting young people in agriculture and the countryside. Their memberships comprise 20,000 young people aged between 10 and 26 years. As such, the NFYFC is the largest rural youth organisation of its kind.
Contrary to popular belief Young Farmers is not just talking about cows and
tractors and drinking each other under the table every night, there is loads of
other things we get up to as well as that. Competitions, socials and
occasionally some serious business (only sometimes though)
Business Meetings are held on the 1st Monday of every month At 8 pm at Alberbury Village Hall. New members are always welcome so if interested give Walter a ring for more information.
Socials include:
Bowling, pottery, salsa dancing, stock judging practice, float building (for West Mid show competition) circus skills, party games with Jill, carol singing at christmas (obviously) rounders, golf, the usual socials with other clubs and many more. Contact us if you have anymore ideas for entertainment.
Competitions can vary from Public speaking and brainstrust (type of debating) to flower arranging and drama competitions which go up to National level but also 'Stars in their eyes', biggest nut and bolt and make a superhero costume out of recycled material.
