FUW helps long standing masonry paint firm to promote the Welsh language

The Anglesey branch of the Farmers’ Union of Wales has teamed up with the UK’s and Europe’s largest distributor of a famous traditional masonry coating “Snowcem Plus” to give their product a local Welsh feel.

Anglesey County Executive Officer Heidi Williams said: “In Wales alone we spend millions of pounds on paint, so wouldn’t it be nice if we could have the colours named to represent parts of Wales such as sunsets, green meadows, beaches, mountains etc. anything basically that promotes our heritage and culture of rural areas within Wales.

“The creation of a Welsh colour card would be the very first of its kind and a Welsh Website will be created to go hand in hand.

“Naturally, this is a big challenge so the FUW has decided to turn this into a competition and an invitation will be sent to all Young Farmer Association and clubs throughout Wales.”

The winning club will receive a cash prize of £250 and will be presented with the official Welsh Colour Card at the Royal Welsh Show in July.

Team efforts will be encouraged so that any club can submit as many entries as they like.

Closing date for entries will be Monday, July 4,2016.

Mrs Williams added that there is no doubt that such a promotion will not only capture rural Wales in colour but also demonstrate that larger Companies are keen to develop an additional service for the people of Wales by introducing an all Welsh website.
