UPDATES FROM LIMOUSIN YOUTH

The 2022 Limousin Youth Association AGM was held via zoom in August and welcomed the incoming 2022/23 LYA Committee:

President: Chloe Bailey

Vice President: Caitlin Rodham

Jnr Vice President: Tate Purdue

Secretary: Phoebe Eckermann

Treasurer: Lenise Mantell

General Committee: Zeke Groom (2022/23

LYA Ambassador), Brittany Jones, Jacob Kerrisk, Olivia Laney, Victoria Lee, Bibiannah Peattie and Bianca Wood

The team promptly organised a development weekend which was held in September at the Genetic Hub office in Wagga Wagga. Over two days, the committee attended workshops including team building, public speaking and communication, and problem-solving activities.

During this time, the committee presented proposals for consideration for the 2023 National Limousin Junior Show and discussed goals in relation to the event.

Subcommittees spent time brainstorming ideas for projects they wanted to deliver over the next twelve months.

The committee worked hard to see another successful LYA calendar produced and distributed ready for 2023. This has become an important annual fundraising activity for the LYA with profits used to support LYA Scholarships. The committee would like to thank everyone who supported the LYA by advertising in our calendar.

Another successful fundraising activity recently organised was the Christmas merchandise release which included custom LYA caps and spray jumper/pants. There was a lot of interest in these products, and the committee thank everyone that supported the pre-order.

The committee are looking forward to seeing our youth members at the 2023 National Limousin Junior Show after a very positive 2022 event. Planning has begun with some exciting projects in the works.
