FUW MEETINGS TO HEAR GRASS ROOTS VIEWS

Three meetings will be held in Carmarthenshire by the Farmers' Union of Wales to hear the grass roots views of members.

The union's East Carmarthenshire sub-branch will meet on Tuesday January 25 at Llangadog Rugby Club when guest speaker, Telesgôôp executive director Richard Rees, will talk about the production and preparation of television programmes.

At a meeting of the North Carmarthenshire sub-branch, on Thursday January 27 at the Black Lion, Abergorlech, county vice chairman Dr Catherine Nakielny will speak about sheep health production.

Manager of the Dairy Development Centre at Gelli Aur, John Griffiths, will address the South Carmarthenshire sub-branch on Tuesday February 1 on the work of the centre at the Greyhound, Llannon, Llanelli.

"Attendance at these meetings, where members can present their views as the grass roots of the industry, is vitally important. Their contributions will assist the union to represent, fight and safeguard their interest more effectively in the future," said FUW county executive officer Meinir Bartlett.
