Thanks to everyone who joined us for our @eastregi

Thanks to everyone who joined us for our @eastregionsayfc Agri Panel night on Wednesday.

There was lively discussion on the topic of 'Success in Farming'; what success can look like to different people and the different building blocks to success. We were delighted to hear our panellists quote Young Farmers and the skills and experiences they gained through the Association as one of those building blocks. 🙌

Thanks again to our panel for their insights, to all our attendees, and to Kinross Rugby Club for hosting.

Our Next Agri Panel night will be our @westregionsayfc Event on the 23rd of February at UA Stirling. These panels are open to all members and we would love for you to come along and get involved in the discussion.

The first of our current block of Farm Safety talk

The first of our current block of Farm Safety talks was delivered last Monday. 🦺🚜

The members of @bankfootjac thoroughly enjoyed their talk and found the evening very informative. One member remarked that what stuck with them was just 'how fast a life changing accident can happen' and the difference 5-30 seconds can have on your life.

If you want to book your club in for a talk email jenny@sayfc.org. Act fast as spaces are limited.👀

Thanks so much to @yellowwelliesuk for helping to fund and facilitate these important sessions.🙌
