[QUOTE="Tubbylew, post: 7237953, member: 34620"] When I was in yfc about 15 years ago a good part of the ag side had largely disappeared, particularly the practices in stock judging, ploughing, etc. Ploughing marathons and trips to smithfield show were a thing of the past, the village hall dances were a lifeline, but now they have finished, there isn't much left. Holding any kind of position at local level was such a thankless task, it was almost impossible to get anyone to do I'm glad I had my day before safeguarding, DBS checks, GDPR etc. as I can only imagine what a nightmare that is. Transport was a big issue when i was chairman, the parents didn't want to have to cart the younger members around and the seniors didn't want to either, so they didn't bother with the meeting and went straight to the pub instead, so the only reason for them to pay the sub was to go on the agm. I'm afraid the end of the agm was the end of the financial viabillity of YFC. I'm not sure I'll encourage my kids into it, if it's still going, I think they'd be better off playing sports. Sad really, like a whole load of things in life that seem to be getting worse. [/QUOTE]
