Event Admission Rules

There will be a “Member and 1 Guest” Policy in place for Staffordshire YFC events.

Paid up members of Staffordshire Young Farmers you can sign in 3 guests to an event. Anyone trying to attend an event who is not a member and does not have a current valid membership card will not be allowed in, unless signed in by a current Staffordshire YFC member. You must note that if you sign in a guest and that guest causes any problems in breach of our Policy On Standards Of Personal Behaviour, then this could ultimately lead to the loss of your membership card. We strongly recommend that members do not sign in guests that they do not know.

Members of surrounding Counties, including Cheshire, with a current membership card will be allowed to attend but not sign in any guests.

Please also note it is the policy of Staffordshire Young Farmers that anyone under the age of 18 must be a current YFC member to attend our events.

Staffordshire Young Farmers will be using wristbands at all functions as a proof of age for those over 18. It is the member’s responsibility to prove their age at the door. All under 18’s attending the functions must be current members. This will apply to all events.

Latest Rule change

Following discussions, please note that there will be NO UNDER 16’s allowed to attend ANY of the Staffordshire YFC social events ie discos and balls.

Competition Entry Ages

Please remember, as of the 1st of September 2003, anyone wishing to take part in any competition must have a current membership card with them, complete with a current photo and signed. The YFC age ranges are 16 and under, 21 and under, 26 and under on the 1st September.

The Young Farmers year finishes on 31st August so current membership cards will no longer be valid after that date. However, as in previous years, for the month of September, the just-expired cards will be valid for competitions and events.
