Abby is a role model for younger members and is always keen to get involved.

Emma-Louise has been one of the driving forces behind the re-birth of Easingwold YFC. Keen to see the club get back on its feet, Emma-Louise helped make a plan to resurrect the club.

Since joining Brown Clee YFC, Millie has been an invaluable member, always eager to help and participate in competitions, even those she finds challenging. She dedicates her Monday nights to meetings and bravely took part in the Mace Debate despite having no public speaking experience, gaining confidence in the process. Millie also joined the Disco Dancing and Show Choir competitions, bringing enthusiasm and fun to the group. Her commitment extends beyond competitions; she actively supports fundraising events by working behind the bar and selling raffle tickets.

Sam has taken the lead among younger members in his club, volunteering as Junior Chair and representing the club at meetings. He excels in stockjudging, winning at both club and county levels, and competes actively in various events, including helping other clubs in tug-of-war. When there was no one to help with the rally clean up, Sam assisted and brought his parents along too. He also played a key role in a fundraising cake stall, attracting new members. His confidence and dedication stand out, and he has come such a long way in his first year.

Sophie has quickly become an integral part of the club, regularly attending weekly meetings despite juggling university commitments and a two-hour drive home.

Sophie participates in various competitions, including cake decorating and first aid quizzes, and was one of the organisers for a charity auction. Her enthusiasm helped prepare the club’s display for the Royal Cornwall Show and she inspired others to get involved. With a positive attitude and infectious personality, she has quickly become a popular figure in the club.
