| Aberdeen Angus Youth
Development Programme Final Perth 2008 |
| The
South West of England were well represented in the final of the
Society's Youth Development Project at Perth in February. It is the
first time young people from our area have made it this far. The
standard as expected was very high and although they did not win we
were very proud of their acheivement, Thea Woollatt and Emma Smith in the
senior class and Jessica
Denning
in the intermediate class. The participants had to attend a training
day, attain some showing experience and complete some written work. At
the final, they had to show senior bulls which they had not seen before
which is not an easy task. Anyone under the age of 26 who wishes to take part in this brilliant initiative that teaches young people a diverse range of skills should contact the Aberdeen Angus Society. |
