The Meirionnydd branch of the Farmers' Union of Wales holds its annual general meeting on Friday evening January 27 and an appeal was made today for a strong representation of members from all parts of the county for this special event which will consider the future of the farming industry.
It will be held at the Royal Ship Hotel, Dolgellau, starting at 7.30pm, and the two speakers will be deputy minister for agricultural, food, fisheries and European Programmes Alun Davies AM and former FUW vice president Tom Jones, Plas Coch, Dolanog, near Welshpool, who currently represents Wales on the European Economic and Social Committee in Brussels.
The meeting will be an ideal opportunity to consider the future of the industry in the short and medium term and, undoubtedly, there will be special emphasis on the Common Agricultural Policy review and the recent document on the way forward for Wales.
The meeting will also include a presentation from the county executive officer Huw Jones on the union's activities during 2011.
