_MG_0457The Farmers' Union of Wales (FUW) stand at Denbigh & Flint County Show on Thursday, 15 August,  will provide county officials and members the opportunity to meet and question the new North Wales police commissioner and the ministers responsible for agriculture in the Welsh and UK governments.

At lunchtime, Police Commissioner Winston Roddick will call at the stand with the two new rural police officers for the Denbighshire and Flintshire areas to answer questions on the force's new rural policing initiative.

During the afternoon, Wales' Secretary of State David Jones will visit the stand with Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Secretary of State Owen Paterson.

And at around 14h45, Natural Resources and Food Minister Alun Davies will attend the stand to meet county officials and members, together with members of the union’s presidential team, to discuss topical issues including the consultation on implementation of CAP reform in Wales.

FUW staff will be on the stand throughout the day to highlight the upcoming deadline for farmers to renew their waste exemptions.

The new certification system requires applicants to update their existing certificates, or to apply for the first time, before the deadline at the end of September.

Davis Meade Property Consultants and E.ON representatives will also be present to offer advice on a wide range of issues. E.ON representatives will also provide information about an energy cost savings initiative for FUW members.

FUW County Executive Officer Rhys Roberts said: “We are really looking forward to welcoming our distinguished guests to the stand to discuss important issues such as rural policing and CAP reform over a cup of tea.”
