Bridlington Young Farmers Celebrate 70th Birthday with Fundraising Tractor Run
Key Highlights :
Bridlington Young Farmers is celebrating its 70th birthday this year with a fundraising tractor run on Sunday, June 11. The event will raise money for both the Yorkshire Air Ambulance and Bridlington Young Farmers Club, and will start and finish at Burton Agnes.
Bridlington Young Farmers is a charitable club, run by the members for the members. It provides anyone between the ages of 12-28 a fantastic opportunity to learn new skills, compete in various competitions around East Yorkshire, as well as the chance to get involved with the local community and make lifelong friends too.
The tractor run route is approximately 25 miles long, with a lunch stop at Burton Fleming. The route is as follows: Burton Agnes at 10am, Kilham at 10.20am, Thwing at 11.00am, Wold Newton at 11.10am, Burton Fleming at 1.30pm, Grindle at 1.50pm and Boynton at 2.10pm (all times are approximate). Entry in the tractor costs £10 to enter, and an additional £5 for a passenger - the price will include a pie and lunch. Bacon sandwiches and hot drinks will also be on sale at the start.
The club meets every Tuesday night at 7:30pm from the beginning of October to the end of July in and around the Bridlington area. It has a full programme of weekly meetings from talks and visits, to stock judging, line dancing, games night, cooking, outdoor activities, and more.
The club spokesperson said “You don’t have to be a farmer to be in young farmers!”
