Young farmers club closes

One of Mid Wales’s Young Farmers’ Clubs has folded because of a lack of members.

Llangurig branch of the YFC near Llanidloes has not met for several months and now officials have decided it should close.

A spokeswoman for Montgomeryshire YFC said despite efforts from county officials to keep it open, it had made a decision to close the branch.

She said the club’s assets had now been frozen for up to seven years, unless someone could be found to restart the club.
