Who Are We?
Herts YFC is a county wide organisation made up of 6 clubs - 3 Junior/Countrysiders and 3 Senior. At present we have a membership of 166.
Junior clubs range from 10 - 16 years and Seniors usually 16 - 26 years. We have a County Organiser who helps with the day-to-day running and a new county office which was opened in 2009.
Each club will organise its own week to week activities while the county office runs larger events like the AGM, the county quiz night, rally day, stock judging days and county balls.

Why?
Easy - we all love being outside and we want to have fun, meet new people, learn new skills and experience new things.
