RURAL AFFAIRS MINISTER TO SPEAK AT FUW CAERNARFONSHIRE AGM

Rural Affairs Minister Elin Jones will be the keynote speaker at the annual general meeting of the Farmers' Union of Wales Caernarfonshire county branch, which will take place at Caernarfon Golf Club this Friday, November 5 at 7.30pm.

The event is sponsored by the HSBC bank, and Nigel Davies, HSBC's head of agriculture banking in Wales, will also be speaking at the event.

FUW County Chairman Morgan Jones-Parry said: "It promises to be a very interesting evening, with the controversial Glastir scheme being very high on the agenda. It will also be interesting to hear what HSBC thinks of the new agri-environment scheme."

There will be a question and answer session following the presentations, and the meeting will be an excellent opportunity for members to highlight any concerns they have regarding the Glastir agri-environment scheme and other topical issues.
