To receive the President's Remarks- David Aireyi County President President Mr David Airey welcomed everyone to the Annual General Meeting and outlined the issue with the Covid period that had an impact on membership numbers dropping at the start of his presidency. David explained Club Leaders had found an opportunity to escape and did not return to assist. The number of junior members have increased and is better than expected. David congratulated the unsung heroes, the older members having to step up earlier than predicted, and to the hard work of the parents for transporting the members to the competitions and events. David emphasised that parents, club leaders, and helpers need to continue to help members so that they can get the best out of Young Farmers. Intermediate and Senior members have brought more members to the clubs, which will help the Juniors to develop their skills. David reminded the room that both Intermediate and Senior members get the most out of Young Farmers if they put the work in. David congratulated all the members who competed for Yorkshire. David attended Stockman at Gisburn Aurtion Mart and was impressed that all the members were keen to participate. This competition encourages members to speak in front of strangers and gives them confidence. David added that he was proud to be at Gisburn, noting a lot of members had travelled from afar to compete. David rounded by stating it is very positive and means we can only go from strength to strength.

To receive and adopt the 49th Annual Report of YFYFC This will be presented by the County Chairman and Sub-committee Chairmen The 49th Annual Report County Chairman - Edward Bentley- report regarding County Ed Bentley hoped everyone had received a copy of the 49th Annual Report and ststed it had been an honour to be the County Chairman for the 48th and 49th year of the federation especially coming out of lockdown. Ed stated that alongside reps attending meetings, the possibility of using Zoom for people unable to attend has been a bonus. Members have been keen to compete at District and County Rally, which is a good sign, and we had a tremendous County Rally in 2022 and it feels like YFC is back! Fast forward to June at the Northern Area Field Day hosted at Darlington Auction Mart we had a great turnout of Yorkshire members, and we were triumphant winners. Ed thanked John Craddock and the GYS committee for the GYS showcase and a visit from HRH Princess Royal Anne, and he would advocate for any member to get involved on the committee. Ed recognised Young Farmers were getting out there doing charity work by fundraising and attending local agricultural shows. Ed reported that the new digital membership has been a challenge and "touch wood" we are getting there but this has also been a tough challenge for the office, but we have now turned the corner with 1600 members signed up. The outlook is looking a lot more healthy and a testament to club officers and club leaders. Ed stated we now have 44 clubs funrtioning and only 6 clubs with less than 20 members. Currently Great Smeaton YFC have grown to 73 members, followed by Felliscliffe YFC with 57 members. Ed thanked the EFM Committee for supporting 2 Junior Activate Weekends and thanked the volunteers for stafffing the residentials. Ed reported that Billy's Bingo was a great addition to the event calendar which was new and exciting. Ed thanked Karen Wasden (Dash) as the Field Development Officer for attending club and district AGMS and completing DBS checks noting there is currently a knowledge gap, as we have a lot of new members, therefore, more to do! We have 60 % juniors and with the older members moving on, which is a huge knowledge gap to fill. Ed thanked the following people for their support throughout his term in office: All the staff, Julie, Karen, the Trustees, the 2 Vice Chairman, Kirsty and Tim, Darren, and Michelle in their safeguarding roles, David as County President, Adrian as President Elect, and Stephen Jarvis as Honorary Treasurer. Ed explained that there is limited manpower to support Julie, so introduced Fiona Taylor to the room who has joined the County Office staff team, Ed finished off by saying; "Let's go to County, Northern, and National, and bring back all the trophies and certificates as we head into our 50th anniversary year!" The room showed their appreciation with a round of applause. Competitions & Skills Committee report- Mel Guy Mel thanked the members for a brilliant competitive year, stating it was great to start her year in office as Chairman with members winning all 3 trophies at Northern Area Field Day which we hosted. Fantastic first in-person County Rally back after the pandemic, which was a great success, and it was great to see enthusiastic members who were a credit to the federation. At the Northern Area Stockman competition members competed well and it was a huge achievement to win the top 3 places. This is great for both team building and accumulating silverware. The senior and intermediate members are encouraging younger ones and passing on their knowledge. Thank you to the parents, by transporting their children to events, club leaders, advisory and to Ed for all his help in her first year as Chairman, to Anna and Lizzy as Vice-chairs for all their help and support, to all the judges and stewards for their dedication and giving up their free time at competitions and finally to Julie in County Office for supporting the Competitions and Skills Committee. Events, Finance & Marketing Committee- Joe Holmes Joe reported that Events, Finance and Marketing has had a good year that was full of old classic events and some new dos. Billy's Bingo in January was a sell-out and next year we will look for a bigger venue. The committee had a successful quiz night in October and during the year we have rebranded the members leaflet, Friends of YFYFC leaflet and the keyring. The committee has hosted 2 Artivate ** Weekend where the Scouts were "m nied" by a Young Farmer, stamping our authority as the superior youth movement!

Kelsey stated on the Tuesday we hosted the Tea Drinking World Record and had a visit from HRH Princess Anne, Adam Henson from Countryfile had judged the banner design competition, thank you to Fodder for the butchery demonstration, and on the Friday, we hosted the dairy judging award presentation. Other activities during the week included the log saw and hosting Yellow Wellies, Samaritans, Addington Fund and FCN charities. Kelsey thanked all the volunteers for their support over the week, the Yorkshire Agricultural Society for encouraging YFC but the biggest thank you was to John Craddock for coming out of "retirement" to support the federation.

Isabelle invited the room to join her in a warm hearted and well-deserved round of applause. To make elections to the post of: President - Mr Adrian Willis Proposed by: Kirsty Chapple, Holme Valley YFC Seconded by: Philippa Grayi Calderdale YFC "Good evening, ladies, gentlemen, and fellow young farmers, it is my pleasure to propose Mr Adrian Willis as the Yorkshires, County President. For many of you this evening, Adrian will need no introduction, with him being a very familiar face at both County meetings and on the tug of war field. Since Adrian first joined young farmers... many years ago, he has taken on most roles at some point. Adrian stsrted off as a member of Worsbrough YFC and South West District. Although sadly Worsbrough YFC folded some years ago despite a huge effort to keep it open, Adrian still remains actively involved in South West being our current District President. He still attends all our district meetings and most of our district events, turning into our Christmas Quiz Master and as it turns out he's a fairly good bingo caller. Alongside club and distrirt, Adrian is still very much involved at all levels. We all know how involved Adrian is at County, but he is also a Northern Area Trustee and was recently elerted as an NFYFC Deputy President. Holding all these roles and his numerous decades of experience means that Adrian holds a wealth of knowledge on most things in YFC. Now, there are times when many of us will have said a few choice words when the phone rings and you see that Adrian is calling again (which timing couldn't be better, I'd just written this sentence as Adrian rang). However, most of the time there is an idea or suggestion of something we could do, a piece of advice, unless of course it's just to tell me what colour Blackpool Tower is currently lit up. Most people don't need me to list reasons as to why Adrian should be County President, but I hope you will agree and support my proposal that he would be perfect for the job. Ed agreed ststing he could attest to all of Kirsty's speech. Philippa Gray seconded Kirsty's proposal. Philippa stated that Yorkshire Young Farmers would not be where it is without the support of Adrian. Adrian's support and guidance extends from District to County level. Philippa ststed Adrian's knowledge from planning competitions to club issues, from the key grass roots members to Distritt, County and National level is unbeatable. Adrian is always in attendance at Competitions, EFM or the Exec meetings with his valuable contributions. Adrians time commitment to the federation is immeasurable from answering the phone at any time, his constant guidance is invaluable. Philippa thanked Adrian for representing YFYFC at both Northern Area and National and asked the room to join her and Kirsty to support this elettion. Ed asked if there were any further proposals, and none were received. All the room were in support of the elettion and Adrian was willing to stand as County President and was duly elerted. Deputy President- Miss Rachel Wilson Proposed by: Lizzy Elgie, Boroughbridge YFC Seconded by: Anna Booth, Rathmell YFC "Tonight, I am honoured to propose Miss Rachel Wilson for Yorkshire Deputy President for the forthcoming year. Rachel is a great ambassador for Young Farmers, over the years Rachel has held many roles within the federation including Chairman of the Development and Marketing sub committee and County Chairman in 2004 - 2005 and more recently Northern Area President. In more recent times, especially the past year as Ebor President, Rachel has been a fantastic support for members, a friendly face to all and always there to lend a hand on Rally Day. It's fair to say that in Rachels time as Ebor District, she got thrown in well and truly at the deep end. As one of the districts hit most by Covid, Rachel took on the challenge to help support the rebuild of the district. Having Rachel at the end of the phone has made my job as Ebor District Chairman much easier. As we lost our secretary and treasurer to their travels, Rachel has helped me massively running the district. I hope you all join me tonight in agreement that Rachel would be a fantastic Deputy President for the forthcoming year." Anna Booth, from Settle District seconded Lizzy's proposal. "It's a privilege to be here this evening, to second Rachel Wilson to the Yorkshire YFC Deputy Presidents role for the forthcoming year. Rachel has been associated with YFC for a number of years, as a member of Ebor District and was also involved at a Yorkshire level as D&M Chairman and County Chairman in 2004-2005. Most recently Rachel has been Northern Area President and President for Ebor District. Rachel is always an active supporter of YFC events, particularly with helping at Public Speaking and as an indoor steward for County Rally. As a familiar and friendly face around the county, I am sure Rachel will be an excellent addition to our County top team and hope you11 all join with me in seconding the proposal of Rachel Wilson as Yorkshire YFC Deputy President for the forthcoming year." There were no further proposals and Rachel accepted the role thanking Lizzy and Anna for their kind words.

Honorary Life Members Mr Michael Warren, Harrogate Distrirt Proposed by: Katy Addyman, Knaresborough YFC Seconded by: Tom Stockil, Winksley-cum-Grantley YFC Katy Addyman reported that she cannot be credited with the proposal and was here to champion the words of Scott Waterfield, Knaresborough YFC who is currently travelling in France and the commute is just too long. Katy proposed Michael Warren on behalf of Scott Waterfield. "Mick is a founder member of Harrogate YFC, and the term "Life Member could not be more appropriate from his early teens until his eighties he just never stopped attending. Since the merger of Harrogate YFC with Knaresborough he has been a staunch supporter of the new club and regular attendee at meetings, as both he and his late wife Anne (also a former YFC member) were made Honorary Life Members of Knaresborough some years ago, two of only three people to hold the position. Mick now presents a trophy in Anne's memory at the club's AGM each year. Mick knows our members by name and cares about each one, offering them advice opportunities and putting them in touch with people in the farming world, there are few people who don't know Mick and still fewer he doesn't know by name. His support extends to all clubs of the Harrogate Distritt, which he's been involved with over the years, and he is never absent from any Distritt event and no distance is too far for him to travel. Mick has been a valuable link between Harrogate District YFC and other bodies, such as the Ayrshire Cattle Association and the Great Yorkshire Show, along with various agricultural discussion groups. A champion of everything the Young Farmers movement stands for: its future and all its traditions. and the font of all knowledge on the movement from founding to the present day, nobody could be more accurately termed a Life Member" than Mick and nobody deserves more to have that made official." Tom Stockil followed on by seconding the proposal stating that he had wrote a few words, but Katy had said it all really. Tom reported that unfortunately Mick cannot be present tonight and he has given his apologies. Tom stated that no one deserves it more than Mick, he is a great guy and could often be seen around the YFC and farming circuit with his late wife Anne in a wheelchair whom he doted on. Mick is a great ambassador for Young Farmers, actually starting off in Felliscliffe, then onto Harrogate before ending up in Knaresborough, Tom noted that even back in the day people liked to jump ship to different clubs and Mick is still here with us attending regularly. Tom noted that Mick was YFC through and through and you can always blame chatting to Mick if you are late! Tom stated Mick was a busy man outside of YFC, heavily involved in the Yorkshire Agricultural Society community, judging and stewarding cattle and as a hobby he attends the Auction Rooms in Hampsthwaite, Mick also finds time to farms pigs Wlth his son in Killinghall. Tom asked everyone in the room to join Katy and him to elect Mr Warren as an Honorary Life Member of YFYFC. All the room were in agreement and Mr Warren was duly elected. To announce the winner of the Alan Goldie Trophy To announce the winner of the Alan Goldie Trophy for best contribution to debate at this evening's meeting presented by Mr Michael Rirnmer, President of Lancashire FYFC and Mr Ian Close, former Chairman of Northern Area and Yorkshire FYFC. David thanked Michael and Ian for judging the best speaker and invited them to sum up. Michael stated he was from the best side of the Pennines which received a large friendly'boo" from the membership! Michael apologised if he seemed jaded but he had tsken in some sea air on Saturday and to his shock and dismay he had walked through Blackpool and come across 5,000 young farmers having a good time without embarrassing themselves! Michael reported he'd had a great experience, spoken to the Police who spoke positively of the young farmers movement and also accidentslly visited the Winter Gardens. Michael thanked everyone for their great speeches and both he and Ian had agreed on the winner which was the Vote of Thanks to all the officers by Isabelle Bush, Farnley Estate YFC. Michael noted Isabelle had ensured everyone with a role had been mentioned and why their role was important to Yorkshire Young Farmers. Isabelle accepted the Alan Goldie trophy and the room rewarded her with a round of applause. Any other Business David Airey thanked Michael and Ian for judging the best speech and stated he was retiring from clubbing as he had 28 to lamb! David asked if there was any other business to discuss before the meeting was closed. Adrian Willis proposed to have the 2024 AGM on a Friday night in May followed by a dance. Adrian stated that we don t often praise our rival Northern Area federations but both Northumberland and Cumbria host their AGMS which are then followed by a disco dance at Shap and Newcastle respectively and suggested that we look at a non-school night and have a social afterwards until midnight. Adrian asked the room to consider this proposal and we will discuss again at a later date. Will Amos from Penistone YFC asked why National had not thought of an AGM with a dance, to which the room responded with laughter. Adrian reported that one night when there had been a great sunset over Morecambe Bay, he had discussed this with a member of the NFYFC Board of Management regarding the return of the NFYFC Convention Weekend however their preference is for a DJ in a field! Adrian suggested that grass roots members would like to visit a North Western coastal resort which has a large metal structure, theme park and 3 piers! Adrian noted that unfortunately under the current constitution Counties could not organise this but currently the Northern Area constitution could accommodate this. Michael Rimmer, Lancashire County President concurred with Adrian stated it is an avenue worth pursuing. Adrian praised the recent trip to Blackpool organised by the DIY AGM and attend by 5,000 young farmers noting that it had been hugely successful with no trouble and been praised publicly by the Lancashire Constabulary on Twitter. David Airey asked the room to vote on the motion and all were in favour of Northern Area looking into this further. Adrian Willis as President Elect thanked the room for a great meeting and was looking forward to his term in office and the 50th Anniversary year. To approve the date of the next Annual General Meeting David stated the planned date of the next AGM is Thursday 9th May 2024. Ed Bentley proposed. following the earlier discussion regarding the 2024 AGM in our anniversary year, the new date would be Friday 10th May 2024 followed by a dance at a location to be decided. This was seconded by Georgina Hobson, Aire Valley YFC and the room were in favour. Adrian stated to enable us to elect 2 Vice Chairman there would need to be an Executive AGM and Stephen stated that constitutionally we need to hold a Yorkshire EGM to ensure we invite all the AGM reps to the meeting. It was agreed to hold an Extraordinary General Meeting date on Thursday 26th October 2023 at Pannal Golf Club, Harrogate. David thanked all the contributors for a successful evening and wished all members good luck at the upcoming County Rally. Meeting declared closed at 21.. 15pm.

Mr Alan Goldie Mr Alan Goldie, at the young age of 61 passed away in September 2024. Alan was originally a member of Great Smeaton Young Farmers, Club and has played a very active role at Club, District, County, and National level.

Alan was affectionately known to his friends as "The Cowboy" and was often seen wearing a baseball cap. Alan could often be found stewarding at the National Convention of YFC long after he retired from office. Alan was proud to see one of his daughters, Rachel, become National Chairman of Young Farmers, in 2021- 2022; being the only family to have a father and daughter to both hold this prestigious national chain of office. Mr James Hill Mr James Hill slipped away in his sleep in October 2023 aged 94 years old. James was affectionately known as Jimmy and was the longest serving member of Northallerton Young Farmers, Club, joining in 1941 and being associated with the club for 84 years. During his time with Young Farmers, he was Club President from 1966 to 1992, and involved in both Cledales District and County. James was a long-standing Honorary Life Member of Yorkshire serving over 20 years in office and a Friend of YFYFC. James was a mixed farmer from Wellfield House Farm at North Otterington and was renowned for his passion for vintage tractors. COUNTY PRESIDENT Adrian Willis Firstly, I would like to thank you all for electing me as the Federations President during this our 50th Anniversary year. The year hasn t been without its challenges, with Kirsty Chapple, our Chairman, in her second term of office having no Vice Chairs for the entire year, so a massive thanks to her. Moving on, we reformed a Promotion and Skills Committee thus reducing the workload on the other two overburdened Committees. The now renamed Events, Finance & General Purposes Committee, Chaired by Worth Valley member Joe Holmes has had a particularly challenging time, with various events organised but then with insufficient ticket sales by deadline dates having to cancel them often leaving a cost burden to the Federation, I must remind you all that when Joe asks you to approve these plans at the Executive Committee, these events once approved are the responsibility of the entire Executive Committee and not just Joe and his Vices. These cancellations have caused loses to our Federation and lead to long discussions when attempting to plan for the years ahead. Additionally, Joe ably assisted by County Treasurer Stephen JaNis and the EF&GP have had to draft the budget for the forthcoming year which has a £28,000 deficit and takes into consideration both the need to keep costs to a minimum but also the need, with 660/0 of our membership being Juniors, the need to invest in our Future. So, a big thanks to Joe, Will, Philippa, Stephen, and the Committee. Moving on to our renamed Competitions Committee Chaired by Mel Guy an ex-Reeth member, they have organised, assisted by districts such as Settle & South West all of our Competitions throughout the year leading to success for the County at both Area and National Finals and I feel obliged at this moment to mention in particular Coach Andrew Howe who led Penistone YFC'S Junior Tug of Wars team to their second consecutive NFYFC victory. Additionally, the committee had the responsibility of organising the Northern Area Weekend, forming a subcommittee under the chairmanship of Rachel Nelson (nee Goldie). This was held in Scarborough and won praise from right across the Area for not only being well run but also turning a profit without a separate fundraising dance. So, a big thank you to Mel, Anna, Lizzy, Rachel, and the Committee. Now to County Deputy President Rachel Wilson who took on the task of organising a new Promotion & Skills Committee. Rachel took on this task with gusto, seeking out and inviting a group of 16 to 24 year old members to come together in the Autumn with a blank piece of paper and look at the Federations needs for the future with regard to Marketing both internally & externally, Training, multimedia, and the Federations involvement in the Great Yorkshire Show. The Committee have met on a number of occasions, and I believe that the fruits of their labour will be seen in the coming months. Thanks, Rachel and the Committee. I also attempted to support the Great Yorkshire Show Committee, I had 4 days at the show helping on the stand where host Simon Theakston the show President, Mark Spencer MP PC the Minister of Agriculture, NFYFC for their Dairy Judging and I judged an impromptu TOW exhibition for the Society. Now the Executive Committee, excellently chaired by Kirsty. We have had fun & frivolity, praised our successes but taken the time to have involved and meaningful discussions when there was the need, so therefore a big thanks to all whom attend whether in person or via Zoom. For my part, I have the pleasure of visiting a number of Club & District AGM'S as well as visiting and in some cases Judging a number of District competitions and Rallies. I have attended all the County meetings, Area meetings and NFYFC Council meetings either in person or via Zoom. Additionally, I have attended many County Competitions and Social events either Judging, Stewarding or just being a spectator, Area & certain NFYFC Finals where it's always been a pleasure to watch Yorkshire members doing well. l even had a sneaky trip to the West Coast last May to an unofficial event! I have also assisted Kirsty in the negotiation of some sponsorship partnerships which I hope will help bring long term stability to our beleaguered finances. Wearing my Tug of War Judges hat as also given me that chance to visit our sister Federations in the North, I was particularly pleased to visit Cambo YFC who hosted the Northumberland FYFC Rally and whom staggeringly had negotiated £10,000 of sponsorship from the local wind farm helping to make it a successful day from both the Fun angle and Financially. In conclusion, my personal thanks, go to Julie, Dash (Karen) and Michelle our staff members, Kirsty & the Officer Team, Our Trustees, Stephen our Treasurer, and all those who have collectively made this year the success it has been. It would be remiss of me not to remember all those at home without whose support I could not have done the job, my partner Caroline and our two children Ava and Dexter. Adrian Willis YFYFC County President 2023-24 COUNTY CHAIRMAN 2023- 2024 Kirsty Chapple What an honour it has been to be County Chairman for the second time round - 18 months ago it wasn t something I had even considered and certainly not with a new baby to plan around too. The Competitions committee have once again been extremely busy. We started out the year with the County Rally. Hundreds of members new and experienced descended onto Thirsk Auction Mart armed with a variety of white coats, tug of war boots and an array of cookery and craft exhibits all hoping that theirs would be chosen as the winner. After a tough day of competition, it was Farnley Estate YFC and Cledales District who triumphed. It was fantastic to see such a high standard of entries and the number of new members that had turned up to compete. Throughout the rest of the year, we have seen members competing in Public Speaking, Bowling, and Clay Pigeon Shooting to name a few. Thank you to all the clubs and districts that have hosted competitions on behalf of County, and to everyone who has given up their time to judge and steward, your help is much appreciated. Members of the Competition committee have also hosted the Northern Area Weekend this year. It was brilliant to see members from across the Northern Area coming to Yorkshire for a weekend of competition. Thank you to all the committee members who gave up their time to put on this fantastic event. The E, F&GP committee has once again put on a set of fantastic events for you the members to attend and enjoy. This includes our ever-popular County Quiz with John Craddock and Ryan Howe acting as quiz masters. We once again saw members dancing the night away at Club Amadeus at both the Christmas and Spring dances. We are trialling a new after rally do this year, with a Bar and BBQ staring at the Tug of War and continuing into the evening, as members please support this and encourage others in your clubs and districts to do so. As has been said repeatedly, the events can only be a success with member support, if not our Federation can't sustain itself. As with the competitions committee, E, F&GP want to put on the events the members want- let them know your ideas and make their efforts worthwhile. YORKSHIRE o•0 The Promotion and Skills committee has been launched this year to look at the training opportunities offered to members and how we can further promote ourselves as a Federation. A very successful officer training day was held in January which gave the opportunity for club and distrirt officers to get together and further learn about their roles. Thank you to all those officers that attended and those who volunteered to run the sessions. Highly successful first aid training has been delivered in many of our districts with the final sessions currently being organised. All members who attended the training have received a first aid kit and hopefully this will allow members to feel more confident should an incident occur. This year is YFYFC'S 50th Anniversary and was kicked off in style when nearly 400 past and present members attend our Anniversary Dinner Dance held at York Racecourse in April. A huge thank you to Rachel Wilson for organising the event, all our sponsors and all those who attended. Coming up we also have our church service and afternoon tea which again gives us the opportunity to celebrate all the good that has come from 50 years of YPfFC. Finally, I'd like to say some thankyous. Thank you to Julie in County Office, Michelle Vickers our Safeguarding and Member Welfare Office and Karen (aka Dash) who has been out and about as Field Development Officer, for their support over the year. Thank you to Joe Holmes and Mel Guy as sub-committee officers, President Adrian Willis, Honorary Treasurer Stephen Jarvis, Trustees Andrew, Darren & Paul, Deputy President Rachel Wilson, Vice Chairmen Kirsty Chapple, and especially Darren who's been helping out Michelle with member welfare and safeguarding issues. Often, we forget about the things we don't see, but it's that that allows this Federation to continue. Lastly, you the members, having visited many of your clubs and districts during the past year, it is clear there are some exceptional members out there. Take every opportunity that you get and make the most of your time as a YFC member. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to be your Chairman for the last year. It has been an absolute privilege and I have loved (nearly) every minute. Good luck to your new senior officer team - I'm sure they will be fantastic. Kirsty Chapple YFYFC County Chairman 2023-24 COMPETITIONS COMMIrrEE REPORT Mel Guy We have had another fantastic year! We began the year with the County Rally at Thirsk Auction Mart. where again members came out in force to compete. It was superb to see members flourish in the competition and for exhibits to be at such a remarkable standard. It was wonderful to come together as a Federation and celebrate what amazing talented members Yorkshire has. A huge congratulations to Farnley Estate once again for winning overall! In June, we saw Yorkshire travel to Myerscough College to compete at Northern Area Field Day hosted by Lancashire. Yorkshire showed outstanding team spirt through all competitions, excelling in Tug of War with four teams qualifying for the National Finals along with members shining in stock judging and Yorkshire winning the overall stock judging trophy. Moving into July, NFYFC held their competitions weekend in early July, where we saw many members from Yorkshire travel to Staffordshire to compete. Yorkshire had another successful weekend with many members placing; special mentions to Farnley Estate who won the Junior Mixed Basketball. Yorkshire travelled to Hexham Auttion Mart to compete at Northern Area Stockman.

We continued with the static competitions again this year, which were very popular with members. A huge thank you to Settle for hosting and organising this event. We look forward to the upcoming day this year. Yorkshire held their Live & Carcass competition in October returning to J&E Medcalf's in Halifax. This day was enjoyed by all members with some great individual results, it also saw some members compete in this competition for the first time. In the middle of November, we saw members go and compete at the English Winter Fair in Staffordshire. It was brilliant to see so many enthusiastic members go and compete which lead to some fantastic results. A special mention goes to the team consisting of Katie Grainger, Masham, Grace Bryant, Reeth, Reuben Scholefield and Ethan Scholefield, Calderdale who won the John Spear Trophy for the overall winning team. As always, the County Bowling competition, which was held at Ten Pin in York, was popular with all members, selling out within the first week of advertising. A huge thank you to all of the stewards who helped to run this event. As we entered the new year we held the County Public speaking competition at Harrogate High School. It was fantsstic to see members come to compete in a wide variety of public speaking competitions. Members battled hard in all competitions, well done Settle for winning overall. During the afternoon, members and parents also enjoyed watching and listening to Worth Valley's show choir which went on to compete at Northern Area Weekend. This year due to terrible weather saw us run our County Sports competition in February. Members travelled to a new venue of Wensleydale High School to compete in mixed volleyball, dynamo cricket and rounders. Well done to all teams who qualified for Northern Area Weekend. Again, this year, Harrogate District hosted the Off Roading Challenge at Rudding Park. We had a good turn out from members who enjoyed driving the gator around the course. Many thanks again to Harrogate District for organising this event for members. As we entered March, Yorkshire hosted Northen Area Weekend at Scarborough. It was a brilliant weekend with Yorkshire coming out in force competing in public speaking, sports and show choir. Yorkshire had some brilliant results; a special mention goes to Lucy Goulding for being best Chairman in Junior Reading and best Speaker in Junior Public Speaking and also Isabelle Bush for winning Junior Member of the Year. Well done to Yorkshire for finishing second overall. I would like to once again thank the Northern Area Weekend committee for their hard work organising the weekend.

I would like to say a massive thank you to Julie for all of her hard work in County Office and for her continued support to the competitions committee over this past year.

Thank you to Kirsty for her continued support to myself and the Competitions committee. I would also like to say thank you to Anna and Lizzy for all of their hard work over the last year and their support in organising competitions. I would also like to thank our sponsors who have really helped support all of the competitions we have run across the year.

Without your continued support and dedication these competition days wouldn t be possible. Mel Guy Competitions Chairman 2022 - 2024 EVENTS, FINANCE AND GENERAL PURPOSES COMMIThEE REPORT Joe Holmes Thanks firstly must go to my vice chairs Will and Phillipa who have been a reassuring voice when planning events and running the committee, Julie as always for being at the end of the phone, diligently sorting everything out and reining in my new whacky ideas! We started the year with marketing falling under our committee and we were proud to have carried on the work started by former County Chairman Ed Bentley to rebrand the federation. We acquired a new on brand gazebo, giant deck chair, flying banners and created a flower wall for use at events. We worked with YAS by having a large stand at their Springtime Live event and invited the young attendees to sit on a vintage tractor and plant sunflower seeds. Although these young people aren't yet in our membership age range, we'planted the seed, in the brains of the parents, showing what we do as Young Farmers and I'm sure that they will encourage their children to come to sign up when they turn 10. By attending this event it goes along way between us and OLJr biggest supporters the Yorkshire Agricultural Society and enhances the special relationship between us both. We have also attended the Plough Service at Ripon Cathedral where members pulled the plough down the aisle and read in front of the crowd. Will Bradley ran as Suzie Sheep (our federations mascot) in the world's largest Mascot Race at Wetherby Race Course. This event not only supported YFYFC it also supported the charity Sue Ryder Manorlands Hospice. Will came 3rd overall, a fantastic achievement. We have held 2 successful Do's at Club Amadeus where over 2,000 members attended across the 2 events, bringing in much needed funds to the county's coffers. Thanks to Tim Weatherhead for standing on the door with us. Members had an enjoyable evening at Kookys Nightclub at Skipton where 200 members attended and danced the night away to 80s hits. Although this event didn't go exactly to plan it brought in more money for the Federation. Intermediate and senior members attended the Rally Do at Thirsk Auction and had a blast with DJ Billy Miller and Yorkshire Bars and Events ran a great bar thanks go to the stewards and bar volunteers who helped the night run smoothly. This year's plan is to have the event on the top field where all members and parents can attend which will allow us to gather more money from out of age people. Billys Bingo was well attended being a sellout event with 150 people attending with bingo dabbers to play 5 rounds of jazzy bingo and play your cards right. Attendees ate pie and peas and danced to Billys tunes. This event will be repeated this coming year. The QLJIZ was held at the Anchor at Whixley, hosted by quiz masters John Craddock & Ryan Howe. Members old and current attended and had a great night concluded by a raffle, all of which made a good amount of money for the county, whilst also feeding the members with pie and chips - a good time was had by all. The last event of the year was the 50th anniversary Dinner Dance at York Racecourse kindly arranged by Racheal Wilson who by organising the event took the stress of organisation from the committee which saved time on our meetings. We as a committee look forward to seeing all reps from districts at our next EF&GP meeting and look forward to an enjoyable 50th anniversary year. Joe Holmes Events, Finance and General Purposes Chairman 2022 - 2024 PROMOTIONS AND SKILLS COMMIrrEE REPORT Rachel Wilson This new committee has now had two meetings. The role of the committee is to promote and market YFC to new members, sponsors, funders, and the general public as well as looking at the training needed by the federation. This is an exciting new committee that doesn't have any rules and can come up with novel ideas to achieve the committee aims and objectives. It was a great honour to be asked to chair the first two meetings of this committee, as a previous Development and Marketing Committee chairman I was very aware of what this committee can achieve and the fun it can have whilst doing it. Whilst I was D & M chairman, we towed a giant Yorkshire Pudding for 5 days around the County as part of NFYFC New Members Week. This gained a huge amount of publicity for YFC, involved every District and was great fun - what can Promotion and Skills come up with for this year? We have had a good attendance at the first two meetings. All reps attending have been in age and have shared ideas and view from their distrirts. Even though we are one county we have very diverse Districts due to our size and it is good to hear how clubs operate across the county. We have planned so far junior Activate Days for team building, an Academy residential weekend for Intermediate/Senior members as well as a 50th Anniversary Publication. If you are interested in social media, websites, training, promotion, recruitment and retention, shows and events then Promotion and Skills is the committee for you. Please make sure that you are elerted onto it at your next Distrirt AGM or if this is some time away - please don t hesitate to attend the next meeting. All are welcome and sometimes we have Pizza and Chocolate! I would like to thank all the current members of the committee for attending the first few meetings and offering ideas and suggestions. A big thank you to Julie in the office for the huge amount of work she puts into to keep all the committees operating and also to Karen visiting clubs across the County. By the time this report is adopted at the Yorkshire AGM, Promotion and Skills Committee will have held their first AGM so I would like to wish the incoming Chairman and Vice Chairman the best of luck for the first full year of the committee. Rachel Wilson Acting Chairman Promotions & Skills Committee 2023 2024 YOWHI YOUNG FARMEIS, YOIKSHIIE YOUNGF•IIIERS' GREAT YORKSHIRE SHOW COMMIrrEE REPORT Joe Holmes Last year's show was an enjoyable one with a good attendance on the stand. We were grateful to have Your Harrogate Radio on the stand broadcasting live to locals about what was happening on the showground. In return they frequently plugged YFC and allowed committee secretary Kelsey Williamson and me as chairman, to take a ride in a helicopter whilst the hosts reported on the local traffic situation, a good time was had by all. I also raced DJ Pete Egerton in a pole climbing competition which of course I won! We were fortunate to have Mark Spencer MP who came and explained how YFC had helped him in his career and spoke with current and former members whilst looking around the stand. We also had the pleasure of showing the GYS Show President Mr Simon Theakston around the stand introducing them to the charities, and the following day we welcomed the Show Presidents wife, Mrs Candy Theakston who enjoyed looking at the displays the members had made. We were invited to a drink's reception at the NFU and at Carter Jones, the land agents, and it was great to talk about all things YFC with people there. Kevin Maltby from Lothersdale YFC brought his drums and cow bells which members of the public enjoyed watching and getting involved in. We provided nail bashing and sign the sheep for members of the public to join in with. We had fantastic exhibit displays from the county rally and Harrogate District came on Wednesday to sell tickets to their After Show Dance in Harrogate, which was very well attended.
