The Farmers’ Union of Wales is looking forward to a busy week at the National Eisteddfod in Boduan and has a full programme of events planned for those visiting.

FUW Caernarfonshire Senior County Executive Officer Gwynedd Watkin, said:

“Without a doubt, the highlight of the week will be presenting the Crown on behalf of the FUW. It is a very beautiful Crown, designed and made by Elin Mair Roberts, a young jeweller who trades under the title Janglerins from Y Ffor, not far from the Eisteddfod Maes.”

Mr Watkin further added that there will be interesting sessions held at the Societies Pavilion 2 (Pabell y Cymdeithasau 2) on both Saturdays at 1:30pm. The first on the 5 August will be discussing how science and scientific evidence can be used to benefit the industry whilst on the 12 August we will be discussing the contribution of the agricultural industry to the taxpayer in the company of the former First minister, Carwyn Jones, Jane Dodds MS, Mabon ap Gwynfor MS, Glyn Roberts, Dr Prysor Williams, Iwan Parry and Dr Nick Fenwick.

Those visiting the FUW stand can look forward to daily cooking exhibitions in the company of chef Mel Thomas from Abererch, and there will be plenty of fun with a few local and national stars such as Dewi Pws, Bethan Gwanas, Alun Elidir, John ac Alun, Dafydd Jones Llanfihangel, Dic Penfras Hughes, and the current Archdruid Myrddin ap Dafydd.

“There will be a warm welcome awaiting everyone who visits the stand, as well as the opportunity to taste milkshakes by ‘Y Sied Laeth’ who are local FUW members from Bryn Hynog farm, Llannor. There will also be an opportunity for a chat over a cuppa and some cake throughout the week.

“A big thank you to everyone who has kindly offered sponsorship for the stand including Hybu Cig Cymru, Y Sied Laeth, South Caernarfon Creameries, Popty Lleuar, Cwt Wyau Rhoshirwaun, Becws Islyn and a number of other members who will supply us with cakes all week,” added Gwynedd Watkin.
