This is the web site of Nottinghamshire YFC. We are making changes to the site at present, but please look at the other pages which are still under construction, but may have useful information to you.

Nottinghamshire Young Farmers Club is a rural youth organisation catering for young people 10 to 30 year olds from all walks of life. You don't have to be a farmer to join - far from it - many of our members have an interest in the countryside, but are not from farming families.

Our clubs meet weekly throughout the County, and new members are always welcome.  We have talks, visits to interesting places, quizzes, sports, competitions and a variety of fun activities. You'll get an opportunity to make new friends and get to some great social events.

We are part of a national organisation, so if you are competitive you can represent Nottinghamshire at Area Eliminators and even get to the National Finals.
