“Diamonds Are Forever”
Staffordshire Federation of Young Farmers Clubs are celebrating their Diamond Anniversary with a sparkling event. The “Diamonds are Forever” Dinner Dance is being held on Saturday 10th March 2012, at the Ingestre Suite, County Showground, Stafford. The evening will consist of a 4 course Roast Dinner, an Auction, Raffle, Casino Tables and the traditional YFC disco set up by Bruce Salt who will be playing until 1am. Tickets are £26 per person and table bookings are now being taken.
During the night there will be displays depicting a trip down “memory lane” to view. The federation would like to ask any members past and present to look out for any memorabilia which they have including the famous Club Scrapbooks which normally contain plenty of photos and amusement from the year that the Club has had. Anyone who is willing to loan the Federation any literature display material, photos etc is asked to contact Julia Taylor at the County Office.
Julia Taylor, County Organiser said “We hope to create an area in the Boden Room on the night where past members can reminisce about the “good old days” and also where the current members can see what their parents/advisory members used to get up to! Any items loaned to us will be treated with care and returned to their respective owners as soon as possible after the event.”
Currently, the Federation has 500 members across 10 clubs in the County – Ashley, Chase, Cheadle, Eccleshall, Leek, Lichfield, Ridware, Stone, Uttoxeter and Waterhouses. Our members who are aged from 10 -26 years enjoy a varied programme of activities ranging from sports and socials to floral art and cookery within their Clubs and at County Level. Anyone can be a member of Staffordshire Young Farmers. It is emphasized that you do not have to be from a farming background to join. Anyone who is interested can contact the County Office on 01785 248645 or email countyoffice@staffsyoungfarmers.org.uk for more information.
