local representative Rhia Stankovic
The Gwent Branch of the Farmers’ Union of Wales held 2 farmhouse breakfast events in support of Alzheimer’s Society Cymru and the Farming Community Network raising a fantastic £680.00.
FUW Gwent CEO Glyn Davies said: “I would like to thank all those who made this possible, particularly hosts Chris and Jill Lewis of Trevine Farm, Abergavenny and Mr Howard Vicary of Ty Oakley Farm, Hafodyrynys.
“Their enthusiasm and generosity in opening up their farm houses for the morning highlights the tremendous spirit which exists within the county. Special thanks also to executive member Mr Les Murphy who took on the role of head chef at both events with great expertise.
“The 2 events were a wonderful opportunity to engage with the rural community with great support from the Local Authorities, Farmers, Sales Representatives and local Landowners. We were also pleased to welcome Rhia Stankovic, the local Alzheimer’s Society Cymru representative to both events.”
The county office also gives thanks to Waitrose Abergavenny, Aldi Spytty Road Newport, Farmers Fresh and Mynydd Cig Cymru for their kind donations to the events.
To further support the nominated charities the Gwent branch are planning to hold a wooden horse race evening at Ty – Oakley Farm, Hafodyrynys, on June 30th.
