Introduction
A short introduction Young Farmers is a registered charity and there is over
1,000 clubs through out the UK, there are also similar clubs in other countries
around the world. Calne YFC was set up in 1923 along with most the other
clubs in Wiltshire.
YFC started just for farming based people but now is for
any one who would like to learn skills in all walks of life
and have an excellent social life that you will never experience
any where else, and friendships that last a life time. All
you need to be if you want to join YFC is prepared for making
lots of friends and experiencing lots of new things.
What do you YFC do?
Apart from the things shown on the poster YFC will accommodate any thing a
member would like to do into the program as best as possible, the year always
kicks off with the competitions against the other clubs these include things
such as;
 Football,
hockey, volleyball, Uni.-hoc, hockey and netball
Night-hike,
swimming gala, Quiz, Member of the year, Public speaking,
Brainstrust, Debating,
All members have the option to compete and they are encouraged
but no one is forced to, the aim is just have a go! The year
is ended by the Rally, which is the end of year competition
where there is everything from; Cookery to cross country
running to find out the years winning club. During the year there are many socials both for junior members
(10-15) and senior members (16-26) from discos and more formal
dances to just weekends away, where seniors meet all other
clubs in the southwest and then a national event.
One of the highlights of the year is the carol singing and
Christmas festivities; there is no requirement you have to
be good at singing! We do this to raise money for other charities.
During the year there is also a skills for life program run so members can
learn anything from cookery to dry stone walling, every member gets certificates
for each one taken. These are usually free or a small contribution towards
the cost.
So the only requirements to be a YFC member is: "LIVE
A LOT LEARN A LITTLE"
The Only other thing is we ask everyone to be considerate of others and to
support your council members who run the club these are chairman, Vice-chairman,
secretary, and treasurer. These are the people who keep the club running.
