Lincolnshire Show

June 2010

RABI was very pleased to be charity of the Lincolnshire show in our anniversary year. A big thank you must go to the Lincolnshire YFC who ran tractor rides for children as a fundraiser for RABI raising £140.  Local dealers had supplied the tractors and they charged £1 per go.

The Lincolnshire Show was a very busy time with Spilsby YFC making a presentation of over £300 which they raised for RABI earlier in the year.

RABI Trustee, Michael Paske rallied the troops at a reception on the RABI stand.

RABI was very pleased to be one of the benefiting charities from the Harvest Festival service at Lincoln Cathedral.  A number of beneficiaries attended with Regional Welfare Officer, Jill Line.

Spilsby YFC Welly Disco

October 2009

'Wow what a great night' a quote from a young farmer who attend the Spilsby Young Farmers annual Welly Disco for R.A.B.I. Now in its second year the Welly Disco is a well established event, raising money for the Royal Agricultural Benevolent Institution through their National Welly Week campaign.

Rather than a normal disco the members of Spilsby Young Farmers, each year add their own twist to the event, with the previous year having a decorated Welly competition this year it was decided to try Welly Wanging in the Dark! To succeed in this they had a Glow in the Dark Welly. The competition proved to be really popular with Matt Carrott from Spalding YFC winning the prize, a £10 voucher kindly donated by Fredsclothing.co.uk. The welly was thrown a distance of 26.5 metres.

The disco was massively supported by members from various Lincolnshire Young Farmers clubs with a total of 100 members attending. On the night a total of £300 was raised for R.A.B.I. If anyone is interested in joining Spilsby YFC or any other Lincolnshire Club please contact our county office on 01522 568989.
