Our annual skilled events night was a great success earlier this month with a record attendance. In spite of the dreary weather, the cars soon rolled in with members, friends and family eager to try their hands at classic YFC skills like churn rolling, welly wanging and ironing a shirt! With 20 events, people were free to amble around the course for a social, or rush around them all to compete for the main prize: the overall trophies. The evening was a great one, with plenty to do for all ages, and some new potential members getting to see what we do at Uttoxeter JNFU. The night was stewarded by our advisory committee and parents, who braved the drizzle to make sure the events were running smoothly, as well as help to man the BBQ and refreshment stand. County President Dave Hem spent the evening collating everyone’s scores to sort out the male and female winners in each individual event, as well as the main prizes, which were announced at the end of the night, and were as follows:
Milking the cow trophy:
Joint 3rd: Emily Morris and Hannah Norton
