A TALENTED group of ten members from both Launceston YFC and Camelford YFC represented Cornwall in ‘Disco Dancing’ at the YFC Nationals Final held at Blackpool during the early May bank holiday, writes Kaylie Haines.

The dancers had been practising since the beginning of the year with experienced guidance and choreography from Sally Grigg.

The group qualified in March after being placed second after a excellent performance at Weston-Super-Mare for the South West Area round, just losing out to dancers from Devon YFC club, Haldon Group YFC.

For the National finals in Blackpool the Disco Dancing competition was held in the grand ballroom of the Winter Gardens, in which members faced stiff competition from nine other clubs from counties across England and Wales.

The Cornwall dancers were last to perform but brought excitement and enthusiasm to the stage, whilst having fun performing a brilliantly executed, high-energy routine to a range of dance hits.

After an anxious wait the judges’ results were announced, with second place being awarded to Cornwall YFC that was met with rapturous celebration by the dancers and supporters. First place went to the well-deserved Devon YFC.

Launceston YFC hopes to continue the competition success into the upcoming summer competitions, with tug of war training well underway and preparation for summer show entries and cubicles commencing, along with a full Thursday nightclub schedule.

Previous, recent club nights include visits to D S Smith packaging, Kensey Foods and an amusing evening playing ‘bubble football’.

New members are always welcome and for more information on how to join in on the fun visit our Launceston YFC Facebook page or visit the website www.launcestonyoungfarmers.co.uk for upcoming events and schedule.
