Worth Valley Junior rounders team batted their way to victory in the County Rounders Competition. Horizontal rain meant that members were even more horizontal when it came to running round the pitch on a slippery grass surface! it was looking a bit bleak for the team when we realised we only had 3 junior girls who would be able to compete at the competition, then we didn't have enough drivers, then practices were cancelled due to bad weather... but we went with a "have a go" attitude. we set up teh pitch which was about 2 inches deep in water and tried to have a practice. soon the matches were underway and somehow, i don't know how, we won our league!! things were looking up. Jen and Rach stood on the banking shouting at us to run, no , no stop, no run! the rain was pouring it down...but we managed to do it in the end!! we won the match and are very proud of our achievement whilst everything was against us! Well Done WVYFC in another victory! :)
I am looking into getting some new club t-shirts: navy polo t-shirt with YFC Logo and your name on. They will cost about £11 each. Please let me know on Tuesday if you would like one, what size and what name you would like on them! Rach :)
We will be having a stand at the BVG, Cullingworth on 12th and 13th May. A planning meeting will be on Monday at the Wuthering. If you would lie to help out, man the stand or run an attraction, please let Sophie or myself know. This is a really good oportunity to showcase teh good work that we do!
WVYFC Talk a Lot!
On Sunday 22nd January, Worth Valley Young Farmers Club took part in the Yorkshire Federation of Young Farmers’ County public speaking competition. This is a hotly contested competition open to 46 Clubs in and around Yorkshire.
WVYFC had members speaking on a broad range of topics from Growing up in Today’s Society to Nuclear Power, from Olympic opening speeches to being a Dragon in Dragon’s Den. We had Junior members Chairing meetings and doing Vote of Thanks, and Intermediate members debating topical issues.
Three members of Worth Valley Young Farmers have travelled to the English Winter Fayre in Stafford to compete in the National Federation of Young Farmer Clubs finals of the Live and Carcase Judging competition. Jennifer Moore (23), Eleanor Moore (20) and Ellis Snowden (12) all qualified through to the National finals after success at the Yorkshire round held in October. The competition involves judging both live animals and carcases, and then presenting the reasons why to a judge.
