Would any Warwickshire members like to come along to the Supply Chain training event on 7 March? Jan Godsell (supply chain professor who will be hosting the afternoon) is looking forward to welcoming YFC members to Warwick University for what promises to be a fascinating afternoon/early evening.
The afternoon and evening is: free; will be a great opportunity to hear from Jan; help with study, current or future career/business concerns and YFC members will be consulted on future online courses. A good supper and organised so that you don’t have to take too much time out of the working day. Event starts at 3.30pm.

The EU referendum on 23 June was without doubt the biggest political event in a generation – and the outcome one of the biggest political surprises.

Message from Charlie Vice Chair,
We are in the process of talking to the relevant authorities in order to improve the chances of getting the TEN; when we have any advice for clubs we will send it out.
For now it might be best to hold back with asking for licenses, although this is up to you guys :) I will send something out by the end of February.
There are two charitable funds that you may apply to as members of YFC in Warwickshire.
Jessie Harper can help with training needs.
Doreen Wilson may be able to give a grant if you are travelling with NFYFC abroad, as part of a scholarship.
For more information please contact the office.
