YFCU excited to be part of Balmoral Show
The YFCU stand at Balmoral is partnered again this year by the Yellow Wellies Campaign of the Farm Safety Foundation.
Throughout the show, the YFCU stand will be found beside the cattle rings and will be staffed by members from the YFCU who will be on hand to welcome visitors and answer any questions on the association.
Activities begin on the Wednesday morning at 10am in the sheep shearing pavilion with the YFCU sheep shearing competition, sponsored by Lister Shearing Equipment Limited.
The YFCU floral art final, sponsored by Tesco, will be held in the sheep shearing pavilion at 3pm.
The floral arrangements will then be on display in the healthy horticulture area for visitors to enjoy throughout the remainder of the show.
Kicking off events on the Thursday is the machinery handling competition, sponsored by Johnston Gilpin which will be held in the cattle rings at 2pm.
Following this the junior and senior five-a-side ladies football final will also be held in the cattle rings at 3.15pm.
