Annual Awards for farming champions
05/05/2011 @ 02:29
The vital role farmers play in their local community is being recognised by NFU Cymru with the launch of its annual Community Champion Award with the winner receiving £500 and two runners-up getting £100 each.
The ‘Welsh Rural Community Champion Award’, now in its third year, is sponsored by NatWest. Applications are invited from throughout Wales from those farmers who use what little spare time they have away from the farm in helping their local community.
Stephen James, Deputy President of NFU Cymru said, “We want to recognise the hard work farmers do off the farm in order to help their local town or village community. Potential award winners could be involved, for example, with their local agricultural show, community events, choir and all sorts of things which play an important part in making a thriving community.”
The closing date for entries is Friday, 10 June 2011 and the winner will be announced on the Thursday of this year’s Royal Welsh Show.
The application form is available to download from the website: www.nfu-cymru.org.uk, and for more information, contact abigail.hook@nfu.org.uk or Telephone: 01982 554200.
