Looking back, our club has had a very successful, record breaking year.1 I can
believe how quickly it's gone, but vR've managed to pack a lot in. So I'm just going to
go over some of the highlights!:
We kicked off the year with Fireworks. which was safe to say the biggest and best
we've ever had, with 1400 people in attendance. doubling the record set the year
before. Everything that was in our control went pretty much perfectly. and the
feedback from the public was amazing.
Following on was Christmas tree selling, which despite doirKJ it in the middle of a
stom and having to find a new location, we managed to sell 110 trees. just
surpassing last years total. Soon after was the Xmas party, brilliantly organised by
Hayley, I'll let her tell you more about that one!

In the new year we brought back an event we havenl done for a while, collecting
Christmas treesl Nice day, collecting about 50 trees, I think this is a good foot in the
door if the club wants to make this a yearly occurrence, I'm sure it will get more and
more popular!
Then we had the Quiz night, which again I'm sure Hayley will tell us more about. but I
think everyone had a lovely evening
At the end of January we introduced a club skiing trip to Austria, which was a
fantastic week and one we won't forget in a hury! Amazingly there were no broken
bones!
Next up was Prelims, which I think Grace's report will be talking about, but so many
of us turned up and you all did so well that they had to change the rules aftefwards
to make it a fair fight for the other clubs! Which I think is bloody good going.
The 12th April was our slightly different clay shoot which Sam will be reporting on,
and the weekend after was a brand new event for us, the Tractor run! Fantastic
turnout, 30 tractors and the burger van served about 300 people. There were crowds
lining the roads, and I went on the radio to publicise it.. not something l expected to
be doing this year.1
And Ihen there was Show, the biggest day in our Counws calendar.1 Maldon showed
up in force, and quite rightly won club of the month that month for all our efforts. We
had members helping out on the main gates, bar. stewarding, in subscribers and
main car park, equine ring, vintage tractors, forestry and I'm sure there's more I'm
missing. so it was a cracking effort all round, well done everyone.
One of the last things we did in the year VRS the Bike ride pub crawl, always a
favourite of mine. Apart from my front wheel being stolen every time I left my bik6
unattended (Sam, George, Scott. Hary, Jack, thanks guys), it was a good fun day.
We've also done plenty of club clothing this year, the polos being as popular as ever.
And then the most recent order of coats, softshell jackets and 114 zip jumpers, which
thanks to the money from County, sponsors and the club chipping in a bit, we were
able to give a free item to every member of the club. This amounted to 102 items
being ordered from 75 different members. It's been great to see you wearing these
items as often as you dol I've got the rest to be handed out in the boxes at the back,
we'll do that at the end of the meeting and get some group pictures. Due to the
generosity of the county committee we We￿ able to subsidize the cost of 1 ttem for
all members.
And I couldnl do this report without mentioning the size of the club. as I'm sure
you've heard me say many times before, we've truly broken records with our

numbers, becoming the biggest club in the County, and I believe one of the biggest
in most Counties. I'll let Annie fill you in on the numbersl
There's plenty more I could say. but I've gone on long enough already. l just want to
finish up by saying that every club chainnan I've met will tell you that their own club
is the best. But I can say with confidence that they're all wrong. You guys have
proved time and time again this year that Maldon is the best club, and I hope you've
all enjoyed this year as much as I have. I will miss being Chaiman, and l just want to
say well done and thank you very much to you all.

This young farmers year we organised our annual Christmas party on 20th
December in Matt 8untings bam. It was nativity themed which meant there was lots
of creativity from the club with cardboard donkeys, sheep, a 3 legged camel and
decorated Christmas trees. The generator. 2 tables and toilets were kindly donated
by Heidi at Mobile Thrones and we had Ben Fitch DJ on the night. It was a great tum
out with costumes ranging from a Mary and baby Jesus duo outfit to a blow up
Christmas tree and camel.
On 17th January we held our subscribers quiz which we usually run at the start of
December. This year we decided to have an event after the new year when there's
not as many events on, in the hope of a good tum out. We definitely exceeded the
amount we thought were going to attend and ended up using as many tables and
chairs we could find in Great Totham hall. We played heads or tsils for the first
round, with a donation to enter to win a hamper. with items kindly donated by the
club. Then Tom and Lucy. our speakers, continued with the big fat quiz of the year
with many themed questions about 2024. The winners received a large hamper of
goodies including this years Maldon YF Calendar.
A special thanks to the whole committee this year and Tom and Sian have done
fantastic job! Cannot wait to see what happens in the next young famiers year.
Hopefully lots of subscriber events.

etitions - Grace Whiteford
Apologies for not being there in person this year. Last year vrfe competed in many
competitions and had a good number of people tuming up to each one we attended.
We took part in dodgeball, football. tug of war. lawn mower racing, public speaking
and many more during prelims. We won prelims which is a very big achievement
especially with the number of clubs coming forward. At the young famiers show we
came second in both the girls and boys tug of war and also got a second in the
lawnmower racing. Overall through the year we came in second through all the
competitions. I hope you all have a lovely 25126 year.1

Not a lot has happened in tenns of countryside role over the past couple months. But
we've had a very busy month in April
On the 12th of April we held our annual Clay but with a few changes after being let
down last minute and not being able to find any suitable replacement despite many
tedious phone calls , with a huge amount the help of Lauren we scaled it right back
to more of a DIY one that was only open to Maldon members and subscribers it
didn't go entirely to plan bul hopefully everyone had good day
On 26th April we had the countryside day, that's included all three activities at once
those being stock judging that we unfortunately didn't place in farm evaluation we
also failed to place and finally fence erection which we did actually win and went to
the nationals so not a complete failure
Thank you Mr Chainnan.
12. Press - Luc
Stammers
We've maintained good engagement across our socials over the last year, as well as
an increase in followers, due to regular posts and creating reels! Our TikTok has also
continued to grow over the last few months.
In the last 30 days alone, we've had 47.146 views on Instsgram, which is great for
brand awareness of the club and for new members to find us!

Thank you Mr Chairnian.
We've had a large array of different meets over the last year, from our annual
pumpkin picking. which is always a popular meet, to a talk at the hunt kennels, a
physiotherapy talk from our own Secretary Sian, ice skating with Dunmow and
Halstead and even paddle boarding at the v￿nderful mersea boating lake to name
just a fewl It's been brilliant to see a really good turnout to the meets throughout the
year, whether it's to a tour, talk or activityl
In be￿een these, we've enjoyed some pub meets too, which is always great for
catching up with each other!
Good luck to the new programmes rep for the upcoming year.1
Thank you Mr Chaiman.

Thank you Mr chainnan.
Will keep this short and sweet as this report will cross over into others reports this
evening. As usual we have had valuable support at all our events, including
fireworks, Christmas trees, and our annual quiz. It was also lovely to give back and
see some subscriber faces at our clay shoot and social which was exclusive to them.
Especially lovely to see some of them get involved with the tow on the day.
We have had 8 successful year all round and thank our subscribers for their ongoing
support and I wish the next subscribers rep the best with the takeover.. hopefully will
see some new subscribers on the list.. Mr Gilbey

Income and Exenditure Accounts for the year ended 31st August 2025
I have examined the bank accounts, books and relavent documents of the Maldon and District Youn8
Farmers Club and from these have produced the final accounts.
In my opinion the accounts give a Irue and fair view of the state of affairs at the 31st August 2025 and the
excess of expediture over income for the year then ended.
