Chance to win a day trip and £200 spending money
Fancy a chance of winning a free day trip for your YFC and £200 spending money?
National agricultural newspaper Farmers Guardian, which is once again sponsoring the NFYFC Senior Member of the Year award, has teamed up with John Deere to offer one winning club a day out at the firm’s Nottingham headquarters in Langar, test driving some of the latest kit on the nearby airfield testing ground and having some fun on a variety of gators, combines and tractors.
The day includes a guided tour of the building, access to the training centre, mechanical workshops and machinery displays, lunch and the opportunity to take home some freebies.
For a chance to win the trip for your club, fill in a simple entry form at the FG stand, which will be in the foyer during Friday’s registration and before the ARAC forum.
The first 1,000 members to enter the competition will also receive a free Farmers Guardian AGM T-shirt.
The newspaper will be reporting live from this year’s event, and you can read a full AGM preview and YFC profile on the Cornwall Federation online at www.farmersguardian.com/youngstock.
There, you can also follow all AGM events as they happen online or through regular twitter updates, see the photographs in a dedicated YFC photo gallery, and read news of all the trophy winners.
