The theme of the night was Hoe Down. Inglewood Young Farmers Club members attended the event in country attire, and came away with the Club Membership Award for Outstanding Membership Growth.
The award recognised the club's hard work in creating a welcoming and thriving club environment.
He says he is pleased to receive the award.
"Making our club welcoming and getting those membership numbers up was a big goal for us, and achieving that and being commended for it is special."
The club meets on the first Wednesday of each month at the Fern Lodge in Inglewood, Josh says.
"We have a social catch-up and talk about events happening during the month."
As well as having the aim to people get off the farm and connect, Josh says the club also fundraises so the members can explore the country.
"We have a kete which contains the funds we use on our yearly trip. Last year we went to Christchurch. We try to have a big trip each year, for our members to have a nice holiday. We also just purchased some club T-shirts from the kete, with help from local businesses. Our fundraising also helps to subsidise costs for our members."
The club is welcoming, he says, with members having a diverse backgrounds in the primary sector.
"All of the members are a great bunch of people and solid friendships have been made in the group."
He says anyone who wants to join the club is welcome.
"We're always looking for new members."
