The Lady Astor Award is a financial grant for the ‘Best Kent Young Farmer of the Year’ as nominated by their Club Leader. Nominations for an individual member should be made by the affiliated Club Leader (this award is not to be confused with the Best Young Farmer Competition run by Kent YFC). We require a written submission explaining why the club leader thinks this member deserves to be nominated, what impact they have made on the club as a whole and what their plans for the future are. A shortlist will be selected by the KCAS Charities Activities Committee, after which applicants may be required to attend an interview before a final decision is made. The Award of £250 is expected to be used towards furthering the club member’s individual development.

Your application will be sent direct to the Show Manager. This will be discussed at the October meeting of the Charities Activities Committee and you will be contacted with a decision by the end of October.
