Thirsk Young Farmers Club  raised money for their chosen charities at their foam party "The Big Bath" held at Thirsk Rural Business Centre, in September, by kind permission of Chairman and Thirsk Rotarian Harry Woodhead.

 

The event was a huge success and all 500 tickets were sold well before the day. 

This year the money that the club raised was split between two charities one of which was

"The Laura Crane Trust". It is the only UK charity funding research specifically into the types of cancer affecting teenagers and young adults. It also funds measures to improve the quality of life for young cancer patients, both during and in the aftermath of their illness.

 

A cheque for  £250 was presented to Tony Jordan of Thirsk Rotary Club  to be forwarded via RYLA Secretary & 2007 Course Director Tim Dale to the Trust. 

Next years event, which has already been booked for the  same time next year, will be even bigger so more people can enjoy the fun and hopefully continue to support charities chosen by young people for young people. Young Farmers have asked that Tony return to show them the DVD  of the Trust early in 2008
