​

Kate James, Treasurer
​
A member of Maendy YFC for 14 years. Kate’s organisation and proficient work ethic speak volumes, having enjoyed enormous success with Maendy including winning Senior Stockman of the Year at the County finals & having represented Glamorgan at both the Welsh & English Winter Fairs on numerous occasions. Kate was also part of the Glamorgan Ladies Tug of War winning team at the Royal Welsh Show, one of her many YFC highlights.  She has represented County at the Wales Panto finals having been part of Maendy's winning team as well as attaining County success at debating. Not only is Kate a Club Leader for Maendy having been a highly successful Chair, Vice Chair, Secretary and Minute Secretary she is also the Deputy Manager of a highly regarded pre-school. 

Elen Williams, Rally Chair
​
​With over a decade as a highly successful member of Neath YFC and current Club Leader, Elen moved quickly through the ranks from Treasurer to Secretary before proudly securing the role of Chairman.  Having gained experience as County’s Competitions Chairman, Elen was delighted to be selected as Wales YFC Competitions Chair for 2018-2019 a role she enjoyed enormously. She has also undertaken many of the YFC travel opportunities including the Rural Youth Europe Rally to Ireland and Patagonia with Wales YFC and was honoured to represent the latter at a reception in the Houses of Parliament!

One of her many personal highlights was winning the NFYFC Choir competition in Blackpool on Convention weekend. When not crazy busy with YFC Elen works  as an Enhanced Account Approval Manager and enjoys spending time with family & friends and helping on the family’s beef and sheep farms.

Annwen Williams, Management Sub committee Chairman.  

Annwen’s love of the stage first began at the tender age of 3.  Having joined Neath YFC at 12, her ability to perform escalated winning the Singing Solo Competition at the Wales YFC Eisteddfod.  It came as no surprise to those around her that a future career beckoned on the world’s stage.  With studies taking her from Cardiff to London, Annwen’s destiny was set as she became a professional Opera Singer travelling the globe performing on some of the finest stages.

Despite these accreditations, her feet have remained firmly grounded.  Her love for agriculture never waned as she continues to run her family’s Welsh Black cattle & Welsh Mountain sheep farm in Neath.

Having been elected as County’s Eisteddfod President when Glamorgan hosted the Wales YFC Eisteddfod in 2018, we were delighted when Annwen became County President for our 80th year one of her many YFC highlights.  Although sharing members’ euphoria when the Glamorgan YFC Choir won the NFYFC Choir Competition at Blackpool’s AGM remains a very close second.  

When not farming, performing on the world stage or helping Glamorgan’s members Annwen is a Conductor for Cor Morgannwg and a member of the Iechyd Da’ Murder Mystery Group raising much needed funds for charity.  We are honoured to have her.

Gwyneth Thomas, County Organiser
​
A former member of Llantrisant YFC, Gwyneth quickly moved through the ranks from Competition to Correspondence Secretary, Treasurer, Vice Chair and Chair.  She represented County at both Senior After Dinner Speaking and stock judging at the Royal Smithfield with success in the Senior Lambs and the pairs team at the English Winter Fair having also represented Glamorgan at the very first RWS Winter Fair.  She was part of Llantrisant’s winning team at the County entertainment’s finals before advancing to the all Wales finals.  Gwyneth is a credit to the Glamorgan Federation with her efficient & effective work ethic, professional and courteous approach and never-ending energy and enthusiasm.  

Born into farming it is no surprise that Gwyneth’s hobbies include lambing and cooking. Her YFC highlights include her current role and being elected as Wales YFC Staff Association Chair in 2017. We appreciate her enormously.
