After being postponed last year, Worcestershire county committee were finally able to hold their annual dinner at Worcestershire County Cricket Club, Worcester on 6 November.

The Graeme Hick Pavilion was filled with 130 guests, including Worcestershire NFU members, local supporters, farmers and businesses, who welcomed the opportunity for a face-to-face gathering whilst raising funds for RABI. It was wonderful to hear the chatter and conversations we have all missed.

After a delicious three course meal, guest speaker, Will Kerton, of Churchfields Farm entertained the audience and explained about the diversification side of the business.

Brad Towell from McCartneys extracted over £1,800 in the promise auction, and a successful raffle brought the evening to a close.

Donations on the night included £180 from Peopleton PCC, £500 from Steve Morris and £1,000 from Pershore and Upton NFU, following their successful ploughing event that took place earlier in the year.
