We are currently working through plans for the 2020 calendar as the country returns to a ‘new normal’ for schools. This is a challenging time and health & safety must be at the forefront of everything we do.

We have therefore decided to open the 2020 ABP Angus Youth Challenge for entries on 5th October to allow a period of adjustment as teachers and pupils return to school.

We are also working through a number of options for a semi-final early in October for our 2019 entrants. We have taken on board the feedback given by teachers and we are grateful for their continued support and enthusiasm for the ABP Angus Youth Challenge.

We will continue to listen, consult and to review our plans over the coming weeks. We will try and give as much notice as possible to semi-finalist teams of how and where such an event will take place.

We have missed seeing you all. We are very conscious that our young people have missed out on so much and we are therefore committed to continue to offer this unique opportunity for a positive and rewarding experience.

We would like to encourage you to stay connected with us via our Facebook page and Twitter feed until we can meet again in person.

ABP and the Angus Producer Group wish you all the very best with a safe and successful start to the school year and look forward to being in touch again soon.
