ANOTHER year, another zoom AGM for SAYFC s West region, which saw Katie Burns of Kilmaurs YFC retire from West regional chairman and Gayle Allan, of Avondale YFC, being appointed to the post. Gayle commented: “It is a privilege to take on the chairman role and be leading the West region this year. The previous year definitely threw its fair share of challenges our way. All clubs have done a fantastic job of keeping their members engaged, especially since most events had taken on a new virtual format. However, zoom fatigue has hit, and it’s time to put the fun back into young farmers. We now look forward to starting this new year with a bang! And getting all of our favourite events back up and running in the near future.
