Financial boost for Clwyd's young farmers
Clwyd YFC has received a financial boost of £200 to help fund county training and activities from NFU Cymru members in Clwyd.
The Clwyd Federation has 15 clubs across the county, with almost 500 members. The county organises a large number of events each year including county sports and competitions, training, foreign exchanges, entertainment evenings and balls.
On presenting the cheque to the movement at the recent Denbigh and Flint Show, Ceiriog Jones, Clwyd NFU Cymru County Chairman said, "NFU Cymru is proud to offer its support to the young farmers of the county. Young farmers are the future of the industry in the region and it’s so important to support their development. The federation is a vital part of the rural community here in Clwyd and we’re delighted to be working with them and recognising the good work they do. It’s also about ensuring that the training and activities they offer can continue."
Accepting the cheque, Mari Jones, Clwyd YFC Vice-chairman said, "The partnership between NFU Cymru and Clwyd YFC goes back decades and for that we are very grateful. The continued support from the NFU Cymru ensures that young people in rural communities are gaining the skills needed to move the industry forward. It also furthers their own personal development and opens up and improves job opportunities, for those members not exclusively from farming and agricultural families."
