Cornwall YFC Competitions Day


The sun shone for Cornwall Young Farmers on Saturday 26th May at Penvercoe Farm, Bodmin, as the summer season of competitions began. Members of Launceston Young Farmers performed extremely well, resulting in them achieving second place overall. The cookery team of Charlotte, Jess and Aaron produced a delicious four course meal to take third place. A cubicle exhibit, with an Olympic theme, involved items of cookery, a collage and decorated cake, gained first place in a very high standard of competition.

Becky Vine performed extremely well to the win the Junior Stockjudging competition; she will now go onto the Southern competition round at the end of June to represent Cornwall. Claire Butter, Tamsyn Bartlett and Tom Merritt took part in the Senior Stockjudging and Carcase Judging competitions, with Claire gaining first place in both the lamb and beef carcase judging.

The evening finished with Tug Of War where Launceston’s team came third- a brilliant achievement as this is the first time the team have pulled in a competition.

Well done to everyone who participated throughout the day!

About Launceston YFC

Launceston Young Farmers Club was established in 1947 and is run by members for members.

We have weekly meetings on Thursdays which range from talks on homeopathy or photography to activities such as circus skills or beach barbeques and visits to farms, tourist attractions and businesses.

We take part in many competitions and events across the county and country with great sucess, and do the odd bit of socialising as well...

The club is a charitable organisation itself, but we also engage in fundraising events for other charities, raising over £2000 last year.

Members range in age from 16 to 26 and anyone is welcome to join.
