The Farmers' Union of Wales Anglesey county branch has once again swept the board to win the union's annual most new members award.

FUW county executive officer for Anglesey Heidi Williams has won the award - which is competed for by all the union's county branches - four times in the last five years and statistics show the branch has doubled the number of new members since 2006.

Mrs Williams believes the secret for enrolling new members is by personal recommendation through word of mouth.

"We are pleased to offer our members a wide range of services which saves them time and effort - we are basically a one-stop shop that provides valuable advice and information," she said.

FUW county branches offer free services for their members such as registering and recording cattle movements, Welsh Government appeals and the completion of single application forms.

Mrs Williams also assists non-farming members with benefit issues and undertakes administration work relating to wills and probate.
