Hello, my name is Emily and I am the Youth Chair for this year.
I am 13 years old and love reading and dancing. I have been rallying with my parents for about 5 years and love it. I have made so many new friends and enjoyed lots of adventures over this time.
I am very excited to lead the Youth Committee this year with Chloe, Dylan and Leah.
Our committee for 2022/2023 is:
Emily Jenkins - Youth Chair
Chloe Jones - Secretary

We would like to encourage more young people to attend rallies and also to give ralliersof all ages an opportunity to participate in fun activities over the weekend rallies.
So far this year we have been involved in a very successful Halloween Rally at Innage Farm in Chepstow and the Bridgewater Carnival. We look forward to many more rallies in the coming year and have lots of things planned, from quizzes, dancing lessons, football, rounders etc.
We hold monthly meetings via Teams to discuss future events and we look forward to planning our activities for each rally. The Youth Committee are looking for more members to help them and please approach Emily, Chloe, Dylan, Leah or our amazing Youth Liaison Officers, Jane, Seren or Cerys if you are interested in joining us.
