Sunday 31st January and 60 members travelled to Bingley Swimming Pool to take part in the County Swimming Gala.
Heats started a little late this year in true Young Farmer style, but as there were fewer entries there were obviously fewer heats! However this did not stop the enthusiasm and support for everyone who was taking part – the team spirit was great.
With a couple of swim-offs needed to decide who qualified from the semi-finals to the finals, all the races were swum and it was onto the Presentation - with a lot of new faces in the junior classes being presented with prize cards.
The overall winning club, 3rd place Worth Valley, 2nd place Aire Valley and 1st place Lothersdale, for the 3rd year running!
A huge thank you to Bingley Pool and the staff for yet again allowing us to hold this event there, all the stewards and to all the members who travelled far and wide to be there – it is so nice to see so many enthusiastic members willing to take part in this competition.
Please see full list of results under 'members area', 'competition results'.

Yorkshire Young Farmers were out parading in their fancy dress attire at the Carnival Dance which hosted another night of fun! This all took place on Saturday 5th December at Squires Cafe, Sherburn in Elmet.
During the course of the evening stewards were on the lookout for the top three fancy dress outfits. With so many high-quality costumes to pick from, the stewards found it difficult to decided, but eventually after lots of deliberation they managed to pick their top three which were presented to the rest of the party goers by parading on the stage. Congratulations go too -
1st The Cave Girl – Philippa Saxon from Selby YFC
2nd Christmas Pudding – YFC Member from Durham
3rd Lara Croft (Tomb Raider) – Bev Fort from Worth Valley YFC
Good order was kept by our security team provided by Peter Lee ably helped by our team of stewards.
Thanks must go to the membership for once again supporting their events and also to the very long list of people who without them, many of the functions and activities would not be possible.
