Collingham Young Farmers
Who are we?
Collingham Young Farmers is a youth group for people in the rural community aged 10-30.
They meet every Tuesday and have a variety of speakers and arrange several club visits. Meetings are run by the members for the members and there are several activities for them to get involved in. Young farmers also organise several events to raise money for worthy causes.
Events
The highlights of the county year are Newark show – this is a chance for members to promote young farmers to the general public. Members also enter exhibits and stock-judging. The County Rally held in the summer involves members from across the county competing against each other in fun activities. This year competitions included beat the goalie, sumo-wrestling, girls shaving boy’s faces and the infamous water race. Young farmers also organise several social functions throughout the year; clubs hold dinner dances and parties. The two main county dances are the Autumn Dance and the County Ball. Mr YFC, Miss YFC and the Ambassador of the Year are revealed at these two dances.
