NFYFC Chief ExecutiveDear members,

More than 100 members attended our Council Weekend in February and gave ideas and views to help shape our events and activities.

It was great to see so many people engaged in the Steering Group meetings and sharing their feedback from Counties and Clubs.

Steering Groups and Council meetings are an important part of the structure of this organisation. They help to give the National team focus on how you would like us to develop your Federation and the work it carries out.

Thank you to everyone who gave their time and energy to making this weekend happen and please keep giving your ideas and suggestions to your Council representatives.

I look forward to the next meeting in June.

Best wishes Di
