The popular weekend includes the Federation’s Annual General Meeting, an impressive Agricultural and Rural Issues (AGRI) debate and a range of national competition finals, including Ballroom dancing, Cheerleading, Drama and Senior Member of the Year. The evening entertainment across the three nights includes performances from live bands as well as DJs from BBC Radio 1.
Chairman

“We’re delighted that Massey
Ferguson has agreed to be our lead sponsor again for what promises
to be an amazing event in Torquay. It is fantastic for our Federation
to be associated with such a premium brand in the agricultural
industry and we are looking forward to celebrating with the Massey

Manager, UK & Eire, said:
“We are absolutely delighted to be lead
sponsor of NFYFC’s Annual Convention again this year. Our focus lies
strongly with the next generation of farmers and our continuing sponsorship
of all National Young Farmers’ Clubs means we can help shape and support
the future of farming, to ensure a bright future for everyone involved
in agriculture.”
NFYFC has been hosting an Annual Convention for its members since 1968 and this will be the tenth year that the event has been held in the seaside resort of Torquay. Many of the clubs across England and Wales that attend the convention will organise fundraising activities on route to Torquay, which raise thousands of pounds for charity.
Full details of the weekend are due to be announced after the Federation’s Council meeting in February where the fancy dress theme and all the evening entertainment acts will be revealed.
