The NFYFC publication is now available on line.

SINGLE MALE FARMERS
TV production company Two Four Productions is producing a major new television series and is urgently looking for single male farmers to take part in it. The farmer they'd like would be aged 25-38 and not yet found their perfect partner. The series will give them the opportunity to meet a selection of gorgeous, clever and vibrant women and will, hopefully, have their friends and family on side to help them choose the perfect date. The aim is for the series to be entertaining and fun, but the TV company would also like to shed light on some of the issues in modern farming in Britain. Ideally, any interested candidates would be available to film over three weeks from 11th June. The production company would work around any work commitments during this time.
Contact the programme's producer Steve Grogan on 01752 727514 or 07957 383489.
Christmas Ball
Following the North West Regions successful Christmas Ball £50 has been donated to each of the following charities: the Princes Trust, RABI and the Nurses Clinic at Bakewell Agricultural Centre.
AGRICULTURAL CHAPLAINCY
The support group, which helps to raise funds for the Agricultural Chaplaincy, Derbyshire would appreciate any help that Young Farmers are able to give to finance the Agricultural Chaplain's expenses. The Agricultural Chaplain is Graham Hinds who helps farmers with stress and other problems.
Bill Gregory would be grateful to hear from you
