ID671 Latest News (EN) 28 October 2010 Hits: 3701

The annual meeting of the Farmers' Union of Wales Denbighshire county branch will take place at Coleg Llysfasi, Ruthin, on Monday November 8 at 7pm.

The guest speakers are the Welsh Assembly Government's head of CAP reform David Morris and the principal of the recently merged Coleg Llysfasi and Deeside College David Jones.

There will be a question and answer session following their presentations and the meeting will be an excellent opportunity for members to inform Mr Morris of their problems with the Glastir agri-environment scheme.

"We are hoping for a good attendance and anticipate an excellent discussion about Glastir and the merger of Coleg Llysfasi and Deeside College," said FUW county executive officer Marian Jones.
