YBF has eyes and ears at most campuses, but you are encouraged to report your own successes. If you, or someone in your club or society has achieved one or more of the above criteria, get in touch so that YBF can recognise the achievement.
All decisions as to points awarded or not awarded to any student are final. Points are awarded to the appropriate branch, area or regional chairman unless a specific individual is recognised. Neither YBF, its directors, staff or supporters shall be in any way liable to any person for any reason in the event that points are or are not awarded. Students wishing to claim points should provide independent evidence of activity to Christian May, YBF Director of Operations by email at christian@ybf.org.uk. Further details will be announced over the coming weeks. Past activity undertaken since 1 July 2008 is eligible for consideration.
