Taking Brecon and Radnor’s agriculture, food and rural economy to the heart of the corridors of power in Westminster will be the aim of a Farmers' Union of Wales-organised function next week (Wednesday, October 22).
Between 2pm and 4pm “Brecon & Radnor Day” will take place at the Jubilee Room in the House of Commons and provide an opportunity to learn more about what the counties have to offer.
FUW Brecon and Radnor county executive officer Aled Jones said: “This is the first time that the FUW Brecon and Radnor county branch has arranged such an event with close assistance and co-operation of Brecon and Radnor MP Roger Williams.
“We look forward to sharing this exciting opportunity with local food and drink and other local businesses such as Penderyn Distillery, Radnor Wildlife Trust, Brecknock Wildlife Trust, Radnor YFC, Brecknock YFC, RWAS, Ty Mawr Lime, Brecon Brewing, Welsh Lavender, Radnor Hills Mineral Water and CLA Cymru.
"The branch would like to thank Mr Williams and his staff, both in Brecon and Radnor and London, for working with us on this project.”
"It is widely recognised that Roger Williams is a strong and loyal supporter of agriculture, food and the rural economy and his commitment and enthusiasm for this function further proves that.
“We will be serving nibbles from the Welsh Venison Centre and Morgans Butchers, a selection of gluten free cakes and savouries and loads of home-made Welsh cakes,” added Mr Jones.
A brochure of all those businesses and organisations attending Brecon and Radnor Day will be given to MPs and House of Lords peers attending the function.
It is an event that aims to celebrate the innovative and modern rural economy of Brecon and Radnor at Westminster which will provide an even stronger platform for a bright economic future to the area.
