British Wool and the CFfi YFC Cymru Wales, have enjoyed a strong relationship and collaborated in many different areas over the years including the YFC training offer.
As in previous years, British Wool is offering young farmers an opportunity to attend a beginner shearing course, enabling YFC members to work towards a Blue Seal award. The course will be over two days, covering all the essential aspects of achieving a successful shearing season, including health and safety, the use of shearing equipment and hands-on shearing practice to develop your technique.
This British Wool offer is open to YFC members who have not previously attended a British Wool shearing course. The exclusive price YFC members will pay for this training offer is £87.50 (plus VAT) – the normal cost for this course would be £175 plus VAT.
Excellent fleece presentation starts at shearing, but the work of the wool handler is equally important, ensuring the wool is presented correctly and to a high standard. British Wool is extending its training offer for YFC members to participate in its wool handling course. This one-day course will be delivered by a competitive wool handler at a discounted price of only £60 plus VAT.
Richard Schofield, Shearing Manager at British Wool, says, 'We are once again delighted to be working with CFfi YFC in supporting the training and development of the next generation of shearers and look forward to welcoming young farmers onto our courses once again this year. I'd encourage any interested YFC member to contact the CFfi YFC before the 31st March closing date.'
Evan Stead from Gelligaer YFC adds, 'The shearing course I attended last season was very beneficial to me and it was very helpful to be able to receive the discount as a YFC member. I would recommend anyone to take advantage of this opportunity by British Wool and Wales YFC'
