Ploughing Match 2012

On September 29th, Woburn YFC hosted the annual county Ploughing Match and Corn and Root Show.

The day before we had been busy setting up the site, marking out the ploughmen's plots and building the all-time-greatest obstacle course.

On the day over 100 young farmers from across the county came along to compete in the corn and root show,  plough or support other members, as well as many more members of the public, ploughmen and Young Farmer supporters. 

Woburn did brilliantly in the Ploughing competition thanks to many members who won prizes, but special congratulations go to Tom Baylis and Roger Parrish who won 8 first prizes between them!

We also won the main ring events and came 2nd in the corn and root show to Silsoe!

Woburn Festival

A group of us set up the Beds YFC stand at the Woburn Festival to promote our club and our upcoming Ploughing Match. We also entered a mixed team in the village tug-of-war competition against pub teams and came second!



Scarecrow building

For our first meeting back after summer, we decided to build scarecrows to enter into our county ploughing match which Woburn YFC is hosting on Saturday 29th September. This meeting was attended by 15 new junior members as well as lots of previous members!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Raft Race 2012

After our successful Raft Race of 2011, the competition was back for a second year!

In true Woburn style there were few rules: just two meetings to build a raft out of anything we could find and see who could get to the other side of Box End Lake and back first.

Even by our standards, some of these Rafts were pretty extreme - have a look at the pictures!

 The Winners were Tom and Mick!
