Last week, Catterick Young Farmers started up again for our new year of meetings and fundraising! Our first meeting was a new members night, with members enjoying games and ice breakers. This week's meeting was our charity cheque handover to our charity last year- Newcastle Upon Tyne Transplant Support (NUTTS). This charity was chosen, as our ex-president (of 22 years) granddaughter had a kidney transplant in 2023, and has received support and made friends through NUTTS. 5 Transplant recipients, and 5 parents (some of which have been organ donors), kindly came to speak to us about their experiences of transplants, the setbacks, what is involved and the positive outcomes of the Transplant games, where the £4286.64 raised last year will be spent. The money will help fund children, donors and families to attend the national transplant games, where transplant recipients compete against each other, but more importantly find friends, gain confidence, siblings feel included and families create positive memories.
This year's charity, voted at our AGM in June, is Brain Tumour Research. During our committee meeting this week, we have been organising our annual Charity Stockjudging evening- 7pm, Wednesday 28th October, kindly hosted again by Northallerton Auction Mart. We are asking local businesses if they would like to sponsor one of the 10 classes on the night for £50. Please get in touch via email [email protected] if you are interested.
We are also planning our Christmas Tractor Run- Sunday 20th December, starting and ending in Catterick, including Richmond, Gilling West, Skeeby, Brompton on Swale, Scorton and Colburn. To start at 4pm. Please spread the word, and look out on Facebook and future newspaper articles for more details regarding both events.
If anyone between 10 and 28 years old would like to come to any future meetings, to have a free try of what Young Farmers includes, please get in touch via the above email, or via our page! Thank you!

🔥 A great big thank you to the Richmond and Colburn fire service team members, Izzy, Joel,
Mark, Jud, Dean and Stu for spending their evening hosting last night's meeting. 🚒

Members attended Colburn Fire Station to listen to an informative and pragmatic presentation about road traffic collisions. The team had generously organised a car to demonstrate how a car roof would be cut off after an accident. 2 young farmer volunteers were kitted up inside.

Thank you to the team for spending the time teaching us, and answering all our questions. Hopefully the facts and figures stick with us, when out driving.

👨‍🚒Thank you again Colburn and Richmond fire service team for having us! 👨‍🚒

Thank you Mill Farm Pottery for having us tonight! We really enjoyed it- and learnt something new!
We look forward to receiving the bowl!

Tonight I had the pleasure of welcoming Catterick Young Farmers (CYF) to the studio.

How many could we squeeze in? Fifteen… yes, 15! It was definitely cosy, but what a fantastic evening.

It was so encouraging to see the next generation of British farmers exploring different ways to diversify and embrace new opportunities alongside farming. Their enthusiasm, curiosity and willingness to have a go made the evening a real pleasure, with plenty of laughs along the way too.

A huge thank you to the two volunteers who stepped up to the challenge and had a go. They have a little bowl, made by one of the CYF members, heading their way—a lovely keepsake to remember the evening.

A special thank you to Rosie Langstaff for organising everything, and to everyone at Catterick Young Farmers for choosing to spend your evening with me. It was a pleasure to have you all in the studio, and I hope to see you again soon!

Last night was the 92nd Annual General Meeting of Catterick Young Farmers Club.
Thank you to all the members who helped with the running of the club and fundraising in the last year. We are so proud to say that we raised 💰 £4286.64 💰 for Newcastle Upon Tyne Transplant Support. Along with raising club funds which have been used to subsidise members subscription fees and halve the club clothing price for members.

🏅 We are also proud to have come 3rd in Cledales District Rally, and 4th in Yorkshire Young Farmers Rally in May- an amazing achievement for our relatively small club.

👔 During the AGM, the following officers were re-elected:
Matthew Anderson- Chairman
Olivia Stockdale- Secretary
Josh Blenkiron- Treasurer

Along with our new officers:
Peter Sayer- President
Rosie Langstaff- Vice-Chair

🌟 Thank you to Kathy Pullan for being our president for the last 3 years.

Our chosen charity for next year is Brain Tumour Research, with members knowing family members and people in the local farming community diagnosed with the disease. We hope we can raise a good amount of money this year, through our annual Stockjudging evening, Christmas Tractor Run, Christmas tree collection and some new ways of fundraising.

🏆 Kathy and Matthew also presented trophies to recognise members who have gone above and beyond, through helping with club organisation, great attendance to our weekly meetings, arranging meetings and charity events or giving it their all with their rally competitions.

Thank you to Yorkshire Young Farmers for attending the AGM and advising where appropriate. We don't think it could have gone any smoother!

Thank you again to all past and present members, parents, advisories and sponsors for your support this year.

We hope for another successful year for Catterick YFC.

🎉💰Catterick YFC would like to thank everyone who has supported the club, by volunteering for the tree collection, joining us on our tractor run, or donating!

We are so pleased to announce that the Christmas Cruise Tractor Run raised 🌟£3015.92!!🌟 This is to be split between the Newcastle Upon Tyne Transplant Support, and our club funds.

Our Christmas Tree collection earlier this month raised 🌟£1665🌟 for the club!

Raising nearly £5000 in one month shows the hard work and dedication our members put into the club, and how much support we receive. Thank you! 💰🎉
