If you are aged between 10 and
26 and have an interest in young farmers or the countryside then we'd
love you to consider joining Woburn YFC.
We meet every Wednesday at Eversholt
Village Hall at 7.30pm and the meetings usually finish at 9pm, although
we usually go to the pub afterwards.
We also have meetings away from the
hall when we visit somewhere or do activities, but if you can't drive
don't worry: you can always get lifts with other members by texting the
Woburn phone.
Once a month is a county meeting rather than a club meeting so then we meet up with the other six clubs in the county.
We like to think of ourselves as the
most sociable club in the county with weekly meetings, fortnightly
socials and regular parties. We're also one of the most competitive so
be prepared to throw yourself (or be thrown) into everything we do!
The club is run by the committee
which is made up of members of all ages. This is chaired by Clare Morton
so she runs the meetings and organizes us all. Even if you're not part
of the committee your opinions are still heard, but the committee
changes every year so there's always the chance to get involved with the
running of the club.
Every year there are
annual competitions between clubs which include summer/winter sports,
drama, tug of war, pub quiz, equine, gun dog handling, public
speaking and many more. The annual county highlight is the YFC county
rally which is a huge event in May with about 5000 visitors! You can see
more about county level by visiting the Beds YFC Webpage.
Our year goes from September to
July, however the socials continue all summer. You are welcome to join
whenever in the year, you don't have to wait until September.
There is a small membership fee to
be paid annualy which is £25 for juniors (under 18) and £30 for seniors
which covers the cost of meetings, outings and insurance.
If you are interested in joining Woburn Young Farmers' or want to know more, get in touch with Clare Kennedy on 07752 123312. You can then come to some meetings, see if you enjoy it and get to know us before signing up.
