Shropshire's young farmers will be showcasing the 'Best of British' at this year's County Show with dozens of competitions - including 'Make a British landmark out of scrap'.

Young Farmers is the largest rural youth organisation in the UK with over 900 members and 19 clubs from all over Shropshire.

Hundreds of youngsters come together at the Shropshire County Show and this year - May 14 and 15 - members will be following the theme of the Best of British which will be reflected in their competitions and floats, which parade around the main ring for all to see.

YFC County organiser Megan Jones said: "Clubs will be competing in a variety of competitions over the weekend including Stockjudging (on the Saturday only), the home section, floral art, crafts and photography.

"There will be a total of 40 competitions, including the more obscure like pack a Mini, papier mache Policeman's hat, and make a British landmark made out of scrap.

"Then our two main ring events, on the Saturday - It's a Knockout, and on the Sunday our floats -themed 'Moments in British History'.

"Last year we won the prize for Best Marquee at the Show, so we are aiming high again this year."

If you are aged 10 to 26 you are most welcome to be part of YFC. YFC is unique in that it is totally run by the members for the members' benefit. The organisation runs its own events, dances, activities, visits, foreign travel and charity events. 

They are competitive at sport, speaking, entertaining, stock judging and members enjoy learning how to party with dinner dances, barn dances, ceilidhs and foam parties are all in the diary.
