From the Chairman…
Hello Devon YFC!
The year is going by so quickly and AGM season is
now upon us! I look forward to seeing many Clubs
and Groups at their forthcoming AGMs. You will
find in your mailings a nomination form from the
2019/2020 County Officer’s team. Please discuss this
at your meetings and think carefully about whom you
want representing you and the rest of Devon YFC at
a County, Area and National level. The deadline for
these nomination forms is the 16th of September, so
remember to get them into the office by then!
Once again the Rally season has been and gone so
congratulations to all Groups for putting together
successful YFC tents at their Rallies and Local
Shows. A well done is also required to the many
Clubs that have also worked hard on their own
tents at their Local Shows. They are all a fantastic
showcase of what YFC has to offer. I have been lucky
enough to have judged at Exe Valley, East Devon and
Haldon’s rallies, so thank you so much for having me!
If you’ve been along to the Rural Hub recently, you
may have noticed that our decking has had a facelift!
A huge thank you to the members of Cheriton &
Tedburn YFC who spent time pressure washing the
decking and also to the many members from Haldon
Group who spent two evenings staining it!
See you all soon,
Alice Giles
County Chairman
