The Farmers’ Union of Wales Meirionnydd branch has donated the Chair for the County YFC Eisteddfod, which is to be held at Ysgol Y Gader, Dolgellau on Saturday November 4.
The Chair has been designed and crafted by young farmer Aled Davies of Cae Du, Rhoslefain, near Tywyn, whose family have a strong association with the FUW.
He was commissioned by the county branch to carry out the work in the Spring of 2017 and has produced several Eisteddfodau Chairs in the past. He has also designed and created several lecterns for local schools in the area.
After leaving secondary school, Aled attended Glynllifon Agricultural College and thereafter completed a two year carpentry course at Coleg Aberteifi.
He now works the majority of the time on an arable farm near Cambridge, whilst also doing contracting work at home and assisting on the beef and sheep family farm.
FUW Meirionnydd CEO Huw Jones said: “The County branch is very pleased of this opportunity to provide the sponsorship and is also very grateful to the Penllyn and Edeyrnion ladies’ section of the Union for their generous donation to this sponsorship. The winner will be announced at approximately 8pm on Saturday evening.”
