Young farmers to represent Wales

Three Pembrokeshire young farmers have been chosen to represent Wales at major YFC events next year. Former Miss Pembrokeshire County Show Georgina Cornock and Dylan Sandbrook will be ambassadors for the Wales YFC movement at the European Rally in Norway next July. Richard Davies, immediate past chairman of Eglwyswrw YFC, will travel to Ulster for two weeks in April to learn about the YFC movement in other countries. Lisa Jones, Wales YFC's international officer, congratulated them on getting through the tough selection process held at Stoneleigh each year. "Getting selected is no easy task. Candidates are always up against tough opposition and the interview process is there to ensure that only the best ambassadors get to visit their chosen country,'' she said. Fishguard YFC member Georgina Cornock, of Cefn-y-Dre Farm, Fishguard, is a revenue assistant with the county council and a part-time freelance farm secretary. She plays the harp, sings, acts and recites - talents she developed through the Young Farmers' movement. Georgina will be joined by Dylan Sanbrook, secretary of Eglwyswrw YFC, on the visit to Norway. He is a former pupil of Ysgol Y Preseli and graduated from the Welsh Agricultural College, Aberystwyth, with a BSc in Agriculture. He lives at Anneddwen, Crymych, and works for Clynderwen and Cardiganshire Farmers Ltd. Richard Davies also attended Ysgol Y Preseli and the Welsh Agricultural College. He works on the family farm at Rhydyman, Velindre, Crymych. Last year he travelled to Austria on a European exchange, courtesy of the YFC movement. He is very involved in the local community, including the running of Nevern Show.
