THE Yorkshire Agricultural Society is inviting applications for its Nuffield Scholarship awards.

To raise awareness of the awards, the society has arranged for two past scholars to give presentations of their experiences and benefits at the Pavilions, Harrogate, on Wednesday evening, October 23.

Over the years, Nuffield Scholars have travelled the world seeking new technology, ideas and approaches.

Scholarships are open to applicants aged between 25 and 45 years who already work within agriculture. A special award is available for younger candidates.

For further details of the awards and the presentations contact Christine Johnson at the Great Yorkshire Showground on 01423 541000
