TWO members of local Young Farmers’ Clubs, Georgina Davie from Newton St Cyres and Alice Giles from Bow, have been lucky enough to win travel scholarships through the National and Devon Federation of Young Farmers’ Clubs.

In May, Georgina will be travelling to Strasbourg, France to be part of the week-long Rural Youth Europe Spring Seminar, to represent NFYFC to be part of the discussions to help build an inclusive society for urban and rural youth.

In June, Alice will be travelling to Washington DC, USA to join a welcome weekend with the International Farming Youth Exchange, and then go on to a host state (to be confirmed), where she will stay with different families for three months to learn about their lives and their way of farming.

Both girls are extremely excited and grateful to be given these opportunities, however unlike other scholarships neither of these have any funding that the members can access, so are hosting a fundraising quiz evening to help raise the funds they need to get them to the countries.

QUIZ NIGHT

The quiz will be held at the Waie Inn, Zeal Monachorum on Friday, April 8 at 7.30pm for an 8pm start. Teams of four are invited to take part at £12 per team. There will also be a raffle (and sweets!)

To book a team please contact Alice on 07791 805 066 or email: [email protected] or just go along on the evening.
