CHAIRMAN’S MESSAGE for 2024
Thank you for your support to Llangynidr Agricultural Show, Sunday August 25th 2024. This year we particularly draw your attention to the role of livestock farming at the heart of the show. With many challenges currently facing farming families across Wales and beyond, the agricultural show season is an important part of the calendar. Agricultural shows like Llangynidr are about competing to win in the judging ring where we celebrate excellence in livestock breeding, whilst enjoying the company of family and friends.
Earlier this year the village primary school chose ‘Farm to Fork’ as their theme for the term, helping our children understand where their food comes from and the importance of farming to us all. Many farmers from our community got involved, bringing animals into school and talking about their work. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the experience. We and our friends in the garden show were also delighted to have the children create this year’s Show programme front cover as part of a school-wide competition. Do take some time at the show to support the school, by viewing the entries in the village hall or enjoying a cuppa and cake at the Friends of Llangynidr School tea tent.
For 2024, we are also proud to be supporting Monmouthshire Rural Support Centre, based just down the road at Raglan market. Looking after the welfare of local farming communities, the centre has links to many support organisations. As farmers work tirelessly for the continued health of our food supply, MRSC is there with partners like DPJ Foundation and RABI to help address the mental pressures. Please take the chance to meet with the support centre team at this year’s show and learn more of how they can help.
Our local Young Farmers Club, Bwlch & Crickhowell, will be running their annual Speed Shear competition in the evening, having also run shearing demonstrations through the day, boosting recruitment and awareness whilst providing additional entertainments to contribute to the fun of the day. Please also give your support to our YFC as the future of farming.
Alongside all this focus on farming and livestock, with sheep breed competitions as well as demonstrations of shearing, spinning and weaving, we have show jumping, dog show, entertainments, crafts, vintage vehicles, with lots of local businesses, charities and other organisations represented. There is plenty of choice for your food and drink options, as well as an excellent display of garden and craft competitions in the village hall, and so much more.
Have a great day out at Llangynidr Show, please show your appreciation for our farmers and those who support them, and help us celebrate the variety of activity we enjoy in rural life.
