The same day members competed in the Situations Vacant competition giving members vital experience in applying for their dream job, this was won by Ella Harris, Teme Valley YFC. The Radnor Bursary was won by Penybont YFC who will use the money towards buying a storage unit for their club.
The highlight of the day was the announcement of Radnor’s Junior and Senior members of the year and the titles this year went to Joanna Thomas, Cantal YFC, Junior Member of the Year and John James, Howey YFC, Senior Member of the Year.
