YOUNG Farmers throughout Radnorshire are busy preparing for the forthcoming YFC County Pantomime Competition which will be staged at the Albert Hall in Llandrindod Wells with curtain up on Monday 12th February when Rhayader Club will be the first club on stage.
Each year the annual entertainment competition rotates between drama, pantomime and entertainment and demonstrates the talent of YFC members in the County. This year the emphasis is on pantomime and all clubs within the Radnor Federation will participate in the week long event in either the full pantomime production, or the One Plus or the Time to Shine competitions with the top three clubs in each section returning to the stage of the Albert Hall for the final night productions and presentation of awards on Saturday, February 17.
The entertainment competition which is in its 46th year will be adjudicated this year by Chris Baglin a GODA judge from North Wales.
Clubs in the pantomime competition will compete for the John and Vivienne Hughes Rose Bowl, together with other individual trophies and awards for sections and individuals within the productions.
The winners from each section of competitions will then go forward to represent the Radnorshire Federation in the All Wales Finals at Rhyl on the March 3-4.
The Radnorshire YFC drama competition is supported by Barclays Bank and the individual awards are supported by the Farmers Union of Wales.
There are still some tickets available for the week from the Radnorshire Young Farmers Office in Llandrindod Wells on 01597 829008.
