-Happy Birthday -Wales Young Farmers' Clubs! | 0:00:51 | 0:00:55 | |
-Eighty years old. | 0:01:11 | 0:01:13 | |
-Yes, Wales YFC was established 1936. | 0:01:13 | 0:01:17 | |
-Don't tell me, by men in suits. | 0:01:17 | 0:01:20 | |
-No! | 0:01:20 | 0:01:22 | |
-From seed. | 0:01:23 | 0:01:23 | |
-From seed. - -Seed?! | 0:01:23 | 0:01:25 | |
-In 1929, -the seed was Clunderwen YFC. | 0:01:25 | 0:01:28 | |
-Welcome to Clunderwen! | 0:01:29 | 0:01:32 | |
-The sun shines as they celebrate -being Wales's oldest club. | 0:01:33 | 0:01:38 | |
-We joke about it, -but we should be proud. | 0:01:39 | 0:01:43 | |
-A little village in West Wales -is Wales's oldest club. | 0:01:43 | 0:01:48 | |
-There was a dark cloud -over the Preseli 80 years ago. | 0:01:49 | 0:01:53 | |
-A generation was lost in WW1 -and farm product prices dropped. | 0:01:54 | 0:01:59 | |
-It was difficult to make ends meet. | 0:01:59 | 0:02:02 | |
-But farmer ER Phillips -planted a seed of hope. | 0:02:03 | 0:02:07 | |
-It would gradually spread -to every part of Wales. | 0:02:07 | 0:02:12 | |
-What did he have in mind? | 0:02:15 | 0:02:17 | |
-No-one can tell the story better -than his own daughter. | 0:02:17 | 0:02:22 | |
-My father's aim really -was to bring to the fore... | 0:02:22 | 0:02:27 | |
-..the young people -who lived in the countryside... | 0:02:27 | 0:02:31 | |
-..so that they could -express themselves... | 0:02:32 | 0:02:35 | |
-..in whatever way they wanted to. | 0:02:35 | 0:02:38 | |
-Where did he get the idea? | 0:02:38 | 0:02:41 | |
-Here it is. "The first YFC -opened in Hemyock, Devon in 1921." | 0:02:42 | 0:02:47 | |
-In England? | 0:02:48 | 0:02:49 | |
-In England? - -Yes. | 0:02:49 | 0:02:50 | |
-Something as Welsh -as the YFC started in England? | 0:02:51 | 0:02:55 | |
-Yes and no. | 0:02:56 | 0:02:58 | |
-Society had changed. | 0:03:00 | 0:03:02 | |
-In the west, -Britain and North America... | 0:03:02 | 0:03:07 | |
-..had to adapt to post-war life... | 0:03:07 | 0:03:10 | |
-..following WW1. | 0:03:11 | 0:03:13 | |
-There were local farmer co-ops, -and so on... | 0:03:16 | 0:03:20 | |
-..to counteract -the economic crisis. | 0:03:21 | 0:03:25 | |
-Many new memorial halls were built. | 0:03:26 | 0:03:29 | |
-The YFC offered a solution... | 0:03:29 | 0:03:32 | |
-..to young people. | 0:03:32 | 0:03:35 | |
-It's not a coincidence that -a large co-op, and the first club... | 0:03:36 | 0:03:42 | |
-..started in the same place. | 0:03:42 | 0:03:44 | |
-..started in the same place. - -Mmm. | 0:03:44 | 0:03:45 | |
-Why are we celebrating -the 80th birthday, and not the 87th? | 0:03:46 | 0:03:50 | |
-There were ten or twelve club -in Wales. | 0:03:51 | 0:03:55 | |
-They first came together in 1936. | 0:03:55 | 0:04:00 | |
-There were only a dozen? | 0:04:00 | 0:04:01 | |
-There were only a dozen? - -Yes. | 0:04:01 | 0:04:03 | |
-When did it take off? | 0:04:03 | 0:04:06 | |
-You'll never get this. | 0:04:07 | 0:04:09 | |
-In the forties. | 0:04:09 | 0:04:11 | |
-By the end of WW2... | 0:04:11 | 0:04:13 | |
-..there were 193 clubs in Wales... | 0:04:13 | 0:04:16 | |
-..and more than 10,000 members. | 0:04:17 | 0:04:20 | |
-The Ministry Of Agriculture... | 0:04:20 | 0:04:23 | |
-..set money aside for youth work. | 0:04:24 | 0:04:27 | |
-Petrol was rationed... | 0:04:31 | 0:04:33 | |
-..during the war. | 0:04:34 | 0:04:37 | |
-There was a small petrol allowance -to attend YFC events... | 0:04:37 | 0:04:42 | |
-..lectures about cultivating crops, -and so on. | 0:04:44 | 0:04:48 | |
-Typical Cardiganshire! | 0:04:49 | 0:04:51 | |
-Going to the YFC was -a way round petrol rationing! | 0:04:51 | 0:04:56 | |
-If you ask me, something -more than petrol got things going. | 0:04:56 | 0:05:01 | |
-What do you mean? | 0:05:01 | 0:05:02 | |
-What do you mean? - -Boys, girls, blackouts, hello! | 0:05:02 | 0:05:06 | |
-Will you marry me? | 0:05:13 | 0:05:15 | |
-I'm here! | 0:05:17 | 0:05:18 | |
-I'm here! - -Give your Doris Day a kiss! | 0:05:18 | 0:05:20 | |
-I'd do anything for you! | 0:05:24 | 0:05:27 | |
-Anything? | 0:05:28 | 0:05:30 | |
-Anything? - -Anything. | 0:05:30 | 0:05:31 | |
-That's what the YFC was for you, -but for me... | 0:05:33 | 0:05:36 | |
-But nothing. -Where did Mr and Mrs Cornock meet? | 0:05:37 | 0:05:41 | |
-The YFC. | 0:05:42 | 0:05:43 | |
-Where did my parents meet? | 0:05:43 | 0:05:45 | |
-Where did my parents meet? - -The YFC. | 0:05:45 | 0:05:46 | |
-Where did half our parents meet... | 0:05:46 | 0:05:49 | |
-..especially in wartime? | 0:05:49 | 0:05:52 | |
-It was the place to be. | 0:05:52 | 0:05:55 | |
-Wasn't it, Mrs Owen? | 0:05:56 | 0:05:58 | |
-Oh, yes, of course! | 0:05:59 | 0:06:03 | |
-Several of us... | 0:06:03 | 0:06:06 | |
-..joined the Land Army. | 0:06:06 | 0:06:09 | |
-We were away from home. | 0:06:11 | 0:06:15 | |
-I worked and lived on a farm. | 0:06:17 | 0:06:20 | |
-The clubs were my social life. | 0:06:20 | 0:06:23 | |
-She enjoyed herself, -despite the war. | 0:06:23 | 0:06:27 | |
-Did you see the spark in her eyes? | 0:06:27 | 0:06:29 | |
-Did you see the spark in her eyes? - -Yes. | 0:06:29 | 0:06:30 | |
-Girls started that club. | 0:06:31 | 0:06:33 | |
-No! | 0:06:34 | 0:06:35 | |
-Three or four of us decided -we'd start a YFC. | 0:06:36 | 0:06:41 | |
-We needed volunteers. | 0:06:41 | 0:06:43 | |
-We formed the Llanystumdwy YFC... | 0:06:44 | 0:06:48 | |
-..in the old Caernarfonshire. | 0:06:48 | 0:06:51 | |
-Rhian, and her contemporaries, -left their mark on rural Wales. | 0:06:51 | 0:06:57 | |
-Rhian was the first Denbighshire -organizer, then Caernarfonshire. | 0:06:58 | 0:07:03 | |
-It's surprising how many -became national leaders. | 0:07:03 | 0:07:09 | |
-Like who? | 0:07:09 | 0:07:11 | |
-Like who? - -Sir Meuric Rees. | 0:07:11 | 0:07:13 | |
-The Meuric Rees? | 0:07:13 | 0:07:15 | |
-The NFU, the Royal Welsh? | 0:07:15 | 0:07:18 | |
-There was little to do locally. | 0:07:18 | 0:07:21 | |
-There was a lot of talent -in the area. | 0:07:21 | 0:07:25 | |
-The club encouraged these talents. | 0:07:25 | 0:07:28 | |
-It met every fortnight to start, -then weekly. | 0:07:29 | 0:07:34 | |
-The area was ready -for something like that. | 0:07:35 | 0:07:39 | |
-Llew Jones is another one. | 0:07:41 | 0:07:43 | |
-He was present at the early -stormy FUW meetings. | 0:07:43 | 0:07:47 | |
-It wasn't plain sailing -when Cil-y-cwm YFC started, either. | 0:07:47 | 0:07:52 | |
-The old folk weren't happy -because it was a club. | 0:07:53 | 0:07:57 | |
-"Club" was a bad word in those -days. They thought we were sinners. | 0:07:57 | 0:08:02 | |
-They were right, too - -all those girls and boys together. | 0:08:03 | 0:08:07 | |
-It's not the only reason -to go to the YFC! | 0:08:07 | 0:08:11 | |
-What else did they do? | 0:08:11 | 0:08:15 | |
-It's similar to what goes on now. | 0:08:15 | 0:08:19 | |
-Perhaps there was more emphasis -on the agricultural side. | 0:08:19 | 0:08:24 | |
-Was the YFC a place where -they could try to forget the war? | 0:08:25 | 0:08:30 | |
-Oh, no. | 0:08:30 | 0:08:32 | |
-Quite the opposite. | 0:08:33 | 0:08:35 | |
-We paid more attention -to world events. | 0:08:35 | 0:08:38 | |
-We formed an opinion, -and expressed that opinion. | 0:08:39 | 0:08:43 | |
-It was educational. | 0:08:44 | 0:08:48 | |
-It was better than college. | 0:08:49 | 0:08:51 | |
-You get an education in college. | 0:08:52 | 0:08:54 | |
-We have common sense. | 0:08:55 | 0:08:59 | |
-But what were they doing? | 0:09:00 | 0:09:02 | |
-They just told you! | 0:09:02 | 0:09:04 | |
-They mentioned education. | 0:09:04 | 0:09:07 | |
-What were the competitions? -It must say in one of these books! | 0:09:07 | 0:09:12 | |
-I know that without looking. | 0:09:12 | 0:09:13 | |
-I know that without looking. - -Do you? | 0:09:13 | 0:09:15 | |
-What's the first listed competition -every year? | 0:09:15 | 0:09:20 | |
-Stock judging. | 0:09:20 | 0:09:22 | |
-Stock judging. - -Full marks. | 0:09:22 | 0:09:23 | |
-The first thing that they -had to do when it was formed... | 0:09:24 | 0:09:28 | |
-..was to either rear something -or grow something. | 0:09:29 | 0:09:33 | |
-In wartime. | 0:09:34 | 0:09:37 | |
-Stock judging was very important, -and one of the main activities. | 0:09:37 | 0:09:43 | |
-The sixties and seventies. | 0:09:43 | 0:09:46 | |
-Stock judging. | 0:09:46 | 0:09:48 | |
-Recognizing and comparing breeds... | 0:09:48 | 0:09:51 | |
-..and presenting -an assessment to judges. | 0:09:52 | 0:09:57 | |
-And present day. | 0:09:57 | 0:10:00 | |
-You have to judge -four sheep, cows, or pigs... | 0:10:03 | 0:10:08 | |
-..and place them from one to four. | 0:10:08 | 0:10:11 | |
-Then you have two minutes -to explain your choice to judges. | 0:10:11 | 0:10:17 | |
-She makes it sound easy. | 0:10:17 | 0:10:19 | |
-She was brought up on a farm! | 0:10:19 | 0:10:21 | |
-She was brought up on a farm! - -That means nothing. | 0:10:21 | 0:10:24 | |
-There was a dairy cattle -competition in Pontsian... | 0:10:24 | 0:10:28 | |
-..with three Friesians -and three Jerseys. | 0:10:28 | 0:10:32 | |
-I was told I didn't have -to give reasons for the Jerseys. | 0:10:32 | 0:10:37 | |
-I only had to place them... | 0:10:38 | 0:10:41 | |
-..from one to four. | 0:10:42 | 0:10:45 | |
-A minute before I went on, -a bloke said... | 0:10:45 | 0:10:48 | |
-"..Do you have your reason -for the two breeds?" | 0:10:49 | 0:10:53 | |
-"I only have to do the Friesians," -I said. | 0:10:53 | 0:10:56 | |
-"No, you have to do both!" | 0:10:57 | 0:10:59 | |
-I'd placed the Jerseys. | 0:10:59 | 0:11:02 | |
-I gave the same reasons -for the Friesians... | 0:11:02 | 0:11:06 | |
-..only back to front. | 0:11:07 | 0:11:10 | |
-That's true. | 0:11:10 | 0:11:11 | |
-I had higher marks -for the Jerseys than the Friesians. | 0:11:11 | 0:11:17 | |
-That's a true story. | 0:11:18 | 0:11:20 | |
-You have to take this seriously! | 0:11:22 | 0:11:25 | |
-Do I?! | 0:11:25 | 0:11:27 | |
-I didn't know what to do. | 0:11:28 | 0:11:30 | |
-I prodded the sheep. | 0:11:30 | 0:11:33 | |
-I didn't have a clue -what I was doing! | 0:11:33 | 0:11:36 | |
-That's the way. | 0:11:37 | 0:11:38 | |
-Have fun. | 0:11:38 | 0:11:40 | |
-You're right, Elen. But stock -judging can lead to big things. | 0:11:40 | 0:11:45 | |
-Simon looks thrilled. | 0:11:47 | 0:11:50 | |
-Sprite Rosina, -the champion two years ago... | 0:11:51 | 0:11:55 | |
-..goes through. | 0:11:55 | 0:11:58 | |
-You're not into stock judging? | 0:11:58 | 0:12:01 | |
-You're not into stock judging? - -No. | 0:12:01 | 0:12:02 | |
-I know a story about Dai Jones -and stock judging that you don't. | 0:12:02 | 0:12:08 | |
-One of his cows -won in Builth Wells. | 0:12:08 | 0:12:11 | |
-No. | 0:12:12 | 0:12:13 | |
-Do you know what it is? | 0:12:13 | 0:12:15 | |
-Find out after the break. | 0:12:15 | 0:12:17 | |
-. | 0:12:18 | 0:12:18 | |
-* | 0:12:22 | 0:12:22 | |
-Hurry, it's starting! | 0:12:22 | 0:12:24 | |
-Let's hear Dai's story. | 0:12:32 | 0:12:34 | |
-I was shy with girls, to be honest. | 0:12:35 | 0:12:40 | |
-One of the main reasons I joined -the YFC was to meet girls. | 0:12:41 | 0:12:46 | |
-I met my wife, Olwen, -in a competition. | 0:12:47 | 0:12:51 | |
-It was a dairy cattle competition -in Trawsgoed farm. | 0:12:52 | 0:12:57 | |
-Believe it or not, -I correctly placed the cows. | 0:12:57 | 0:13:01 | |
-But I had my eye on her. | 0:13:01 | 0:13:03 | |
-I still do to this day! | 0:13:03 | 0:13:06 | |
-At least she was still there -when I left the house! | 0:13:06 | 0:13:10 | |
-He's a romantic! | 0:13:11 | 0:13:13 | |
-Put that in your marriages file! | 0:13:13 | 0:13:16 | |
-OK. | 0:13:16 | 0:13:17 | |
-That's only the 1950s. | 0:13:19 | 0:13:22 | |
-Eh?! | 0:13:22 | 0:13:23 | |
-They were young -when the clubs started. | 0:13:23 | 0:13:27 | |
-They're married now. | 0:13:28 | 0:13:30 | |
-Who was the first to marry? | 0:13:30 | 0:13:32 | |
-Oh, Llew! | 0:13:33 | 0:13:35 | |
-Llew Jones from Cil-y-cwm -and Buddug from Dinas Mawddwy. | 0:13:35 | 0:13:40 | |
-Carmarthenshire -meets Merionethshire! | 0:13:40 | 0:13:44 | |
-With the help of a lad -from Breconshire and his wife. | 0:13:44 | 0:13:48 | |
-Gwenllian was in a conference -in Bangor. He was there. | 0:13:49 | 0:13:54 | |
-That's where he met Buddug. | 0:13:54 | 0:13:58 | |
-It was kaput on you then. -You were caught. | 0:13:58 | 0:14:01 | |
-Well, she had the catch. | 0:14:02 | 0:14:05 | |
-Did many couples meet like that, -from all over Wales? | 0:14:07 | 0:14:11 | |
-They still do. -Just take John from Breconshire. | 0:14:12 | 0:14:16 | |
-Our eyes met across the table -at a YFC committee. | 0:14:17 | 0:14:21 | |
-It was in Builth Wells, I think. | 0:14:22 | 0:14:25 | |
-Yes. | 0:14:25 | 0:14:26 | |
-The one that got away. | 0:14:27 | 0:14:29 | |
-The one that got away. - -What do you mean? | 0:14:29 | 0:14:31 | |
-They say that -the Felin-fach YFC members... | 0:14:31 | 0:14:35 | |
-..marry each other. | 0:14:36 | 0:14:38 | |
-There's no need to whisper. -It's no secret, they just said it! | 0:14:38 | 0:14:43 | |

-Emlyn and Catrin. - -Edward and Caryl. | 0:16:06 | 0:16:07 | |
-Our friends married in the summer. | 0:16:07 | 0:16:11 | |
-There's hope for us all! | 0:16:12 | 0:16:14 | |
-Between the courting and weddings... | 0:16:16 | 0:16:19 | |
-..where do they get time -to carry on with the clubs? | 0:16:20 | 0:16:24 | |
-They had the help of -county organizers in the 1950s. | 0:16:24 | 0:16:28 | |
-That's when they hit the scene. | 0:16:28 | 0:16:31 | |
-The job was advertised -in Montgomeryshire. | 0:16:31 | 0:16:35 | |
-I applied. | 0:16:35 | 0:16:37 | |
-I almost passed out... | 0:16:38 | 0:16:42 | |
-..when I opened the door -to go in to the interview. | 0:16:42 | 0:16:46 | |
-There were 60 people there. | 0:16:46 | 0:16:49 | |
-Who were they all? | 0:16:49 | 0:16:51 | |
-Representatives -from all the county clubs. | 0:16:52 | 0:16:56 | |
-That's the difference between -the YFC and other youth movements. | 0:16:56 | 0:17:01 | |
-The members decide. | 0:17:01 | 0:17:04 | |
-Everyone happy with that? | 0:17:04 | 0:17:06 | |
-They've succeeded in doing... | 0:17:08 | 0:17:11 | |
-..what every youth movement -should strive for. | 0:17:11 | 0:17:15 | |
-The members do things themselves. | 0:17:15 | 0:17:19 | |
-It's sustained by the young people -who also sit on committees. | 0:17:19 | 0:17:24 | |
-They organize everything. | 0:17:24 | 0:17:27 | |
-I remember thinking that. | 0:17:27 | 0:17:29 | |
-I didn't realize the significance -while I was there. | 0:17:30 | 0:17:34 | |
-Shush! | 0:17:34 | 0:17:36 | |
-When I was in charge -of a youth club... | 0:17:36 | 0:17:39 | |
-..I hardly ever saw the parents. | 0:17:39 | 0:17:43 | |
-If the YFC stage a play... | 0:17:43 | 0:17:46 | |
-..the hall is full of people. | 0:17:47 | 0:17:50 | |
-They have a lot -of support in the community. | 0:17:50 | 0:17:55 | |
-That helps sustain the movement. | 0:17:56 | 0:18:00 | |
-Why put themselves through it? | 0:18:01 | 0:18:04 | |
-Think of the public speaking. | 0:18:05 | 0:18:07 | |
-The members, parents -and organizers are all stressed. | 0:18:07 | 0:18:12 | |
-Especially the Braintrust. | 0:18:12 | 0:18:14 | |
-They don't know -what they'll be talking about! | 0:18:14 | 0:18:18 | |
-Honourable chairman. | 0:18:19 | 0:18:21 | |
-Thank you -on behalf of Dyffryn Tywi YFC. | 0:18:21 | 0:18:24 | |
-I've learnt a lot about rugby. | 0:18:25 | 0:18:27 | |
-I remember my first -public speaking competition. | 0:18:31 | 0:18:36 | |
-The contestant ahead of me said... | 0:18:37 | 0:18:40 | |
-"..I didn't say much last year. -I'll say even less this year." | 0:18:40 | 0:18:45 | |
-My subject was "Egg". | 0:18:45 | 0:18:49 | |
-I said everything I could think of -about eggs. | 0:18:50 | 0:18:54 | |
-I boiled and roasted them. | 0:18:55 | 0:18:57 | |
-The hen laid them -in the garden hedge... | 0:18:57 | 0:19:01 | |
-..and the barn... | 0:19:01 | 0:19:03 | |
-..and how I couldn't find the eggs. | 0:19:03 | 0:19:07 | |
-I hadn't given it enough thought. | 0:19:07 | 0:19:10 | |
-It was a test, and -I had to come up with something. | 0:19:10 | 0:19:15 | |
-Thanks for coming to entertain us. | 0:19:15 | 0:19:18 | |
-We've enjoyed ourselves. | 0:19:18 | 0:19:21 | |
-We look forward to welcoming you -back in the near future. | 0:19:21 | 0:19:26 | |
-Fair enough, -but why must it be so stiff? | 0:19:28 | 0:19:32 | |
-It's not stiff, but formal. | 0:19:32 | 0:19:34 | |
-There's a certain way to do it. | 0:19:35 | 0:19:37 | |
-That certain way didn't -do any harm to this next bloke. | 0:19:37 | 0:19:42 | |
-Our parliamentary correspondent -James Williams is in Westminster. | 0:19:43 | 0:19:48 | |
-He started through -YFC public speaking? | 0:19:48 | 0:19:52 | |
-I was sixteen. | 0:19:52 | 0:19:55 | |
-I was doing my GCSEs. | 0:19:55 | 0:19:59 | |
-I'd been a member -for a couple of years... | 0:20:00 | 0:20:04 | |
-..mainly doing public speaking. | 0:20:04 | 0:20:07 | |
-Me, Owain and Siriol -would be round the table... | 0:20:07 | 0:20:11 | |
-..with Margaret and Meirion -in St Clears. | 0:20:11 | 0:20:15 | |
-We'd rehearse and go through it. | 0:20:15 | 0:20:19 | |
-There's a set order. | 0:20:19 | 0:20:22 | |
-The chairman welcomes us... | 0:20:23 | 0:20:25 | |
-..the speaker has his say -and gets a reaction. | 0:20:26 | 0:20:30 | |
-We were guided through that. | 0:20:30 | 0:20:33 | |
-Margaret and Meirion -knew exactly what to do. | 0:20:33 | 0:20:38 | |
-We won. | 0:20:38 | 0:20:40 | |
-The order is important. | 0:20:40 | 0:20:43 | |
-That's why so many YFC members -are now... | 0:20:44 | 0:20:47 | |
-..important. | 0:20:47 | 0:20:49 | |
-Public figures, I was going to say. | 0:20:49 | 0:20:52 | |
-I'm a county councillor -for the Rhos-y-bol district. | 0:20:52 | 0:20:57 | |
-The experiences I had in -the public speaking competitions... | 0:20:57 | 0:21:03 | |
-..and being involved with the YFC -on a county and national level... | 0:21:03 | 0:21:09 | |
-..paved the way... | 0:21:09 | 0:21:12 | |
-..and prepared me... | 0:21:12 | 0:21:15 | |
-..to be a county councillor. | 0:21:16 | 0:21:19 | |
-It gave me confidence. | 0:21:20 | 0:21:23 | |
-It takes confidence to appear -on TV or in front of an audience. | 0:21:24 | 0:21:29 | |
-Public speakers don't grow on trees. | 0:21:29 | 0:21:32 | |
-You need -the experience and guidance. | 0:21:33 | 0:21:38 | |
-When I was 15... | 0:21:38 | 0:21:40 | |
-That's the point. | 0:21:41 | 0:21:43 | |
-You can do what you want -with the YFC. | 0:21:43 | 0:21:46 | |
-You also do things -you don't want to do. | 0:21:46 | 0:21:50 | |
-I did public speaking. | 0:21:50 | 0:21:53 | |
-I didn't always want to do, but -Ann had a way to get us to do it. | 0:21:53 | 0:21:58 | |
-It boosted my confidence, -and I'm glad I did it. | 0:21:58 | 0:22:03 | |
-I wasn't comfortable doing it -when I was younger. | 0:22:04 | 0:22:09 | |
-But I benefited enormously. | 0:22:09 | 0:22:13 | |
-I was only a youngster -when I first went to the YFC. | 0:22:14 | 0:22:18 | |
-I walked in -and saw these older people. | 0:22:19 | 0:22:23 | |
-I was asked... | 0:22:23 | 0:22:27 | |
-"..Do you want -to do public speaking?" | 0:22:28 | 0:22:31 | |
-I said, "OK." | 0:22:32 | 0:22:34 | |
-I've never looked back. | 0:22:35 | 0:22:39 | |
-Oh, Morys! | 0:22:39 | 0:22:41 | |
-Who benefited the most from doing -something he didn't want to do? | 0:22:41 | 0:22:46 | |
-Here he is. | 0:22:46 | 0:22:48 | |
-I was 18 when I first -did public speaking. | 0:22:55 | 0:22:59 | |
-I thought everyone was sedate. | 0:22:59 | 0:23:02 | |
-They answered questions... | 0:23:03 | 0:23:05 | |
-..as a politician would. | 0:23:07 | 0:23:11 | |
-I thought it was boring. | 0:23:11 | 0:23:14 | |
-Me and another bloke from Tregaron -didn't take the questions seriously. | 0:23:15 | 0:23:21 | |
-We said daft things -and had a good laugh. | 0:23:21 | 0:23:26 | |
-The audience loved it! | 0:23:26 | 0:23:28 | |
-They'd been listening for hours. | 0:23:28 | 0:23:31 | |
-I drove home that night... | 0:23:32 | 0:23:35 | |
-..wondering if they were -laughing at us or with us. | 0:23:35 | 0:23:39 | |
-I represented the county... | 0:23:40 | 0:23:43 | |
-..every year for six years. | 0:23:43 | 0:23:46 | |
-Have fun. | 0:23:48 | 0:23:50 | |
-That's the way to do it. | 0:23:50 | 0:23:52 | |
-From Tregaron village hall -to the Millennium Centre! | 0:23:52 | 0:23:58 | |
-This would be a good sheep shed. | 0:23:58 | 0:24:02 | |
-You could dip them here. | 0:24:02 | 0:24:04 | |
-If you had trouble -with the Single Payment... | 0:24:06 | 0:24:10 | |
-..you'd only have to run next door. | 0:24:11 | 0:24:14 | |
-Joy, what are you doing? | 0:24:15 | 0:24:17 | |
-I'm going to ask -the viewers a question. | 0:24:17 | 0:24:22 | |
-Is that necessary? | 0:24:22 | 0:24:23 | |
-Is that necessary? - -It has to be right. | 0:24:23 | 0:24:25 | |
-What is the question? | 0:24:25 | 0:24:28 | |
-In what year was the first -public speaking competition? | 0:24:28 | 0:24:33 | |
-1932, 1942 or 1952? | 0:24:33 | 0:24:38 | |
-Was the first public speaking -competition in '32, '42 or '52? | 0:24:39 | 0:24:44 | |
-See you after the break. | 0:24:45 | 0:24:46 | |
-See you after the break. - -I can't believe you've done that. | 0:24:46 | 0:24:49 | |
-. | 0:24:49 | 0:24:49 | |
-* | 0:24:54 | 0:24:54 | |
-Quick! When was the Young Farmers' -first public speaking competition? | 0:24:54 | 0:24:59 | |
-Els, has it started? | 0:24:59 | 0:25:00 | |
-Els, has it started? - -Not yet! | 0:25:00 | 0:25:01 | |
-I had a shock too. | 0:25:01 | 0:25:03 | |
-What are you doing? | 0:25:03 | 0:25:04 | |
-What are you doing? - -Nothing. It's starting. | 0:25:04 | 0:25:06 | |
-I hope the Young Farmers -movement will continue. | 0:25:10 | 0:25:15 | |
-It's good for young people, -it draws them out of their shell. | 0:25:15 | 0:25:20 | |
-That's a nice saying, -to draw them out of their shell. | 0:25:21 | 0:25:25 | |
-Yes. What does "masgl" mean? | 0:25:25 | 0:25:27 | |
-Eggshell. | 0:25:27 | 0:25:29 | |
-Right. | 0:25:29 | 0:25:30 | |
-What about girls? | 0:25:30 | 0:25:31 | |
-What about girls? - -What about them? | 0:25:31 | 0:25:33 | |
-We've heard about drawing -boys out of their shell. | 0:25:33 | 0:25:37 | |
-What about the girls? | 0:25:37 | 0:25:38 | |
-There are plenty of girls too. | 0:25:39 | 0:25:41 | |
-Back in the 1950s... | 0:25:41 | 0:25:43 | |
-..a Pembrokeshire lass was the first -Chairperson of Wales and England. | 0:25:43 | 0:25:48 | |
-Hardly any girls came in -at the beginning. | 0:25:49 | 0:25:52 | |
-I think it was thought it was mainly -for a young professional farmer. | 0:25:52 | 0:25:58 | |
-But they were all sons of farmers. | 0:25:59 | 0:26:01 | |
-The girls gradually came in... | 0:26:02 | 0:26:04 | |
-..to learn about -dairying and poultry. | 0:26:05 | 0:26:08 | |
-In competitions, they tended -to keep to traditional activities. | 0:26:08 | 0:26:13 | |
-Girls did cookery -and lads, stock judging. | 0:26:13 | 0:26:17 | |
-But as regards -to jobs in the club... | 0:26:18 | 0:26:20 | |
-..I'd say the roles were equal -almost from the very start. | 0:26:20 | 0:26:26 | |
-Fair play! | 0:26:26 | 0:26:27 | |
-Fair play! - -Fair play? | 0:26:27 | 0:26:28 | |
-They knew what -they were doing in the old days... | 0:26:28 | 0:26:32 | |
-..putting girls higher up. | 0:26:32 | 0:26:34 | |
-LAUGHTER | 0:26:35 | 0:26:36 | |
-That's what it's all about. -Nothing changes. | 0:26:37 | 0:26:40 | |
-A lot has changed! | 0:26:41 | 0:26:42 | |
-In the 1960s, the girls did -the same competitions as the lads. | 0:26:42 | 0:26:47 | |
-Clay pigeon shooting. | 0:26:48 | 0:26:50 | |
-I'm sure six -or seven girls did that. | 0:26:51 | 0:26:54 | |
-I ploughed for Wales. I sheared. | 0:26:55 | 0:26:58 | |
-I did Proficiency Tests. | 0:26:58 | 0:27:00 | |
-I did all the boys' work, -shearing and milking... | 0:27:00 | 0:27:04 | |
-..ploughing, stockman. | 0:27:06 | 0:27:08 | |
-Well! | 0:27:09 | 0:27:10 | |
-The girls were also -at the fore in travelling. | 0:27:10 | 0:27:14 | |
-By bus? | 0:27:14 | 0:27:15 | |
-No, by plane, all over the world! | 0:27:15 | 0:27:18 | |
-Do you know who was -one of the first to go? | 0:27:18 | 0:27:21 | |
-Think, before answering. | 0:27:21 | 0:27:23 | |
-Think, before answering. - -Have we seen her before? | 0:27:23 | 0:27:25 | |
-Yes. | 0:27:25 | 0:27:26 | |
-My first travel -was when I was twenty. | 0:27:27 | 0:27:30 | |
-I won the scholarship -to go America... | 0:27:30 | 0:27:33 | |
-..and study the 4-H -movement over there... | 0:27:33 | 0:27:36 | |
-..which is equivalent to -the Young Farmers in this country. | 0:27:36 | 0:27:41 | |
-I spent six months out there. | 0:27:41 | 0:27:43 | |
-While I was there... | 0:27:43 | 0:27:45 | |
-..I had the opportunity -of meeting President Eisenhower. | 0:27:45 | 0:27:49 | |
-He was the president at the time. | 0:27:50 | 0:27:52 | |
-That was in 1957. | 0:27:52 | 0:27:54 | |
-Then I went and took -a party of Young Farmer girls... | 0:27:55 | 0:27:59 | |
-..over to the fashion -houses in Rome. | 0:27:59 | 0:28:03 | |
-Fashion houses in Rome?! | 0:28:03 | 0:28:05 | |
-Listen! | 0:28:05 | 0:28:07 | |
-And I met the Pope. -We had an audience with the Pope. | 0:28:07 | 0:28:11 | |
-Hallelujah! -I don't know what to say. | 0:28:11 | 0:28:14 | |
-There's a first time for everything. | 0:28:14 | 0:28:16 | |
-There's a first time for everything. - -How did I miss out on all this? | 0:28:16 | 0:28:18 | |
-I didn't get the chance. | 0:28:18 | 0:28:19 | |
-I didn't get the chance. - -Yes, you would have. | 0:28:19 | 0:28:20 | |
-Maybe you had other -things on your mind. | 0:28:21 | 0:28:23 | |
-Every member in Wales -has the opportunity to travel. | 0:28:24 | 0:28:27 | |
-Where do they go? | 0:28:28 | 0:28:29 | |
-Seatbelt on. Off we go. | 0:28:29 | 0:28:31 | |
-Australia, Canada. | 0:28:35 | 0:28:36 | |
-Germany. | 0:28:38 | 0:28:39 | |
-I went out to America. | 0:28:41 | 0:28:42 | |
-The Czech Republic, Holland. | 0:28:45 | 0:28:48 | |
-When they do it, they catch the bug. | 0:28:49 | 0:28:53 | |
-You caught the bug, didn't you? | 0:28:53 | 0:28:55 | |
-If you mean going to Kenya, -Patagonia, Poland, Ireland... | 0:28:55 | 0:29:00 | |
-..I suppose I did catch the bug. | 0:29:00 | 0:29:03 | |
-How? | 0:29:03 | 0:29:04 | |
-The same way anyone catches a bug, -from another person. | 0:29:05 | 0:29:09 | |
-Someone came to the club -to give a talk. | 0:29:10 | 0:29:13 | |
-I think it was -Richard John from Templeton. | 0:29:13 | 0:29:17 | |
-He talked about -travelling to Australia. | 0:29:17 | 0:29:21 | |
-I was about 20. I don't think -I wanted to go to Australia. | 0:29:21 | 0:29:25 | |
-I looked to see -what else was available. | 0:29:25 | 0:29:28 | |
-The county organizer helped. | 0:29:28 | 0:29:30 | |
-I chose to apply -for the European Rally to Sweden. | 0:29:31 | 0:29:34 | |
-I was lucky to be selected. | 0:29:34 | 0:29:36 | |
-I went with a team of five... | 0:29:36 | 0:29:38 | |
-..representing Great Britain -and Ireland on the European Board. | 0:29:39 | 0:29:44 | |
-Then I moved on to be -elected Chair in Latvia in 2005. | 0:29:45 | 0:29:49 | |
-Young people now -don't think anything... | 0:29:50 | 0:29:53 | |
-..of jetting to Spain on holiday. | 0:29:54 | 0:29:56 | |
-Travelling with the YFC -isn't a holiday. It's different. | 0:29:56 | 0:30:01 | |
-How? | 0:30:01 | 0:30:02 | |
-You stay with a family. -You're part of the family. | 0:30:02 | 0:30:06 | |
-You learn about what they do, -their food, their holidays... | 0:30:06 | 0:30:11 | |
-..and their daily life. | 0:30:11 | 0:30:13 | |
-You stay with a member -of another movement... | 0:30:13 | 0:30:16 | |
-..and learn what they do. | 0:30:17 | 0:30:18 | |
-You bring new ideas home -and help develop them. | 0:30:19 | 0:30:22 | |
-Develop! | 0:30:23 | 0:30:24 | |
-The entertainment competitions -have certainly developed. | 0:30:24 | 0:30:29 | |
-Drama, half an hour -of entertainment and panto. | 0:30:29 | 0:30:32 | |
-But when did it all go whoosh?! | 0:30:33 | 0:30:36 | |
-Involvement in activities -like drama and the Noson Lawen... | 0:30:37 | 0:30:42 | |
-..is as old as the Young Farmers. | 0:30:43 | 0:30:45 | |
-Clubs visited each other -to stage plays. | 0:30:46 | 0:30:49 | |
-In the 1950s, -it all began to be formalized... | 0:30:49 | 0:30:52 | |
-..and become part -of the competitions calendar. | 0:30:52 | 0:30:56 | |
-One thing that knocked -the Young Farmers for a while... | 0:30:57 | 0:31:02 | |
-..was the television. | 0:31:03 | 0:31:05 | |
-I remember going -to the club in Penybontfawr. | 0:31:06 | 0:31:11 | |
-There was a Welsh programme on. | 0:31:11 | 0:31:13 | |
-No-one came out until 8.30pm. | 0:31:13 | 0:31:16 | |
-But TV was a temporary problem. | 0:31:17 | 0:31:19 | |
-By the late 1960s, Young Farmers' -presentations were very daring. | 0:31:19 | 0:31:24 | |
-Caerwedros YFC presented -the first Welsh panto ever. | 0:31:24 | 0:31:28 | |
-Eglwyswrw YFC presented Becket's -challenging play Waiting For Godot. | 0:31:29 | 0:31:34 | |
-And a young farmer from Tregaron -turned his back on comedies... | 0:31:34 | 0:31:39 | |
-..that weren't funny. | 0:31:39 | 0:31:41 | |
-A farce is a farce. | 0:31:42 | 0:31:44 | |
-A bloke is in trouble. -A door closes and a woman comes is. | 0:31:44 | 0:31:49 | |
-His wife arrives, she disappears. -He's in big trouble. | 0:31:49 | 0:31:53 | |
-Keep still, Delyth. | 0:31:55 | 0:31:56 | |
-Oh, Delyth! | 0:31:57 | 0:31:58 | |
-Look what you've done. | 0:32:01 | 0:32:03 | |
-Sorry. | 0:32:03 | 0:32:04 | |
-I said I'd write -a farce the following year. | 0:32:06 | 0:32:09 | |
-It was very presumptuous, -looking back. | 0:32:09 | 0:32:13 | |
-William! The psychiatrist -is snogging your grandmother! | 0:32:13 | 0:32:18 | |
-LAUGHTER | 0:32:18 | 0:32:20 | |
-It's part of the treatment. | 0:32:20 | 0:32:23 | |
-You know the film you made -for the entertainment competition? | 0:32:24 | 0:32:28 | |
-Where did you get the idea? | 0:32:29 | 0:32:31 | |
-The club members. | 0:32:31 | 0:32:33 | |
-You didn't give them the idea. | 0:32:34 | 0:32:35 | |
-You didn't give them the idea. - -No. | 0:32:35 | 0:32:36 | |
-They were a bit older and wanted -to try a different medium. | 0:32:36 | 0:32:41 | |
-I don't know why, -but they decided to make a film. | 0:32:41 | 0:32:46 | |
-How old was he? | 0:32:46 | 0:32:47 | |
-He was 99. | 0:32:48 | 0:32:49 | |
-Odd they didn't stick -a flake in him. | 0:32:50 | 0:32:53 | |
-It was all there. | 0:32:54 | 0:32:55 | |
-The story was about a bloke... | 0:32:55 | 0:32:57 | |
-..leaving a lot of money -in his will to a nephew. | 0:32:58 | 0:33:01 | |
-But... | 0:33:02 | 0:33:03 | |
-"I leave to my great-nephew... | 0:33:03 | 0:33:05 | |
-"..Tyddyn Isaf Farm, -the stock and machines." | 0:33:06 | 0:33:09 | |
-Eh? | 0:33:09 | 0:33:10 | |
-"The sole proviso... | 0:33:10 | 0:33:12 | |
-"..is that he is married... | 0:33:15 | 0:33:17 | |
-"..by the date -of his 26th birthday." | 0:33:17 | 0:33:20 | |
-It was all there. | 0:33:22 | 0:33:23 | |
-A good story, tension, -romance and a bit of... | 0:33:24 | 0:33:27 | |
-WHISTLES | 0:33:28 | 0:33:29 | |
-We had a lot of fun. | 0:33:29 | 0:33:30 | |
-How did it finish? | 0:33:31 | 0:33:32 | |
-How did it finish? - -You'll have to buy the DVD. | 0:33:32 | 0:33:34 | |
-Typical Cardiganshire. | 0:33:34 | 0:33:36 | |
-People ask if money is important. | 0:33:36 | 0:33:39 | |
-The answer is no. | 0:33:40 | 0:33:42 | |
-But it helps. | 0:33:43 | 0:33:44 | |
-Cheers! | 0:33:45 | 0:33:46 | |
-Hooray! | 0:33:46 | 0:33:48 | |
-Sometimes, I think -our comedy in Wales... | 0:33:49 | 0:33:52 | |
-..is like Arthur, -sleeping in a cave. | 0:33:52 | 0:33:55 | |
-But if anyone can wake him up... | 0:33:56 | 0:33:58 | |
-It has come to my attention -that some people... | 0:34:08 | 0:34:11 | |
-..not all of you, I know... | 0:34:12 | 0:34:14 | |
-..have been treating my lovely -lavvy like a public convenience. | 0:34:14 | 0:34:19 | |
-Give him a real man's pants. | 0:34:25 | 0:34:27 | |
-Look out! | 0:34:27 | 0:34:28 | |
-A handy pair. | 0:34:29 | 0:34:30 | |
-The trousers aren't bad either. | 0:34:30 | 0:34:32 | |
-My chip saucepan burnt today. | 0:34:36 | 0:34:38 | |
-I don't have a chimney. | 0:34:39 | 0:34:41 | |
-I've been carrying -smoke out all day. | 0:34:42 | 0:34:44 | |
-That's the biggest thing -we need now in the media... | 0:34:54 | 0:34:58 | |
-..plenty of humour. | 0:34:58 | 0:34:59 | |
-In the sketches and dialogue... | 0:35:01 | 0:35:03 | |
-..it means being comic -when you say the lines... | 0:35:04 | 0:35:08 | |
-..and with the timing too. | 0:35:09 | 0:35:11 | |

-The Young Farmers' Rally. | 0:36:15 | 0:36:16 | |
-How do you explain it -to someone who hasn't been there? | 0:36:17 | 0:36:20 | |
-I don't know. | 0:36:21 | 0:36:22 | |
-Cookery, stock judging, -flower arranging, ceremonies. | 0:36:22 | 0:36:26 | |
-Everything Young Farmers do -in one crazy day. | 0:36:26 | 0:36:29 | |
-Then there's the dance. | 0:36:29 | 0:36:31 | |
-Then there's the dance. - -Yes, the dance. | 0:36:31 | 0:36:32 | |
-Do you remember your first dance? | 0:36:32 | 0:36:34 | |
-Do you remember your first dance? - -Yes. | 0:36:34 | 0:36:36 | |
-I remember telling Mam -I wanted to go, in my first year. | 0:36:37 | 0:36:42 | |
-I know. It sounded great. | 0:36:42 | 0:36:44 | |
-I remember my first dance. | 0:36:45 | 0:36:47 | |
-It was in Tal-y-bont Hall. The floor -was covered in white stuff. | 0:36:47 | 0:36:52 | |
-I went out in the middle -with a girl. | 0:36:52 | 0:36:55 | |
-Once she let go of my hand, -I was like a cow with milk fever. | 0:36:55 | 0:37:00 | |
-I went through the middle of the -hall, my legs all over the place. | 0:37:00 | 0:37:05 | |
-The rally was in Tal-y-bont. -It had been very wet. | 0:37:06 | 0:37:10 | |
-I went to the dance in the evening. -I wasn't a dancer. | 0:37:11 | 0:37:15 | |
-But it was fun. | 0:37:15 | 0:37:17 | |
-The Young Farmers' dances! | 0:37:17 | 0:37:19 | |
-How would you describe them? | 0:37:20 | 0:37:22 | |
-Wild? Very wild? | 0:37:22 | 0:37:24 | |
-A lot of fun, I'd say. | 0:37:24 | 0:37:26 | |
-It's a chance for the movement -to make a bit of money too... | 0:37:26 | 0:37:31 | |
-..especially these days. | 0:37:31 | 0:37:33 | |
-The YFC receives public funding -on county and national level. | 0:37:33 | 0:37:38 | |
-It will go down, whatever we do, -no matter how much we canvass. | 0:37:38 | 0:37:43 | |
-It's all down to money these days. | 0:37:44 | 0:37:46 | |
-Unfortunately, -every activity needs money... | 0:37:46 | 0:37:50 | |
-..to develop or sustain it. | 0:37:50 | 0:37:52 | |
-It's a difficult time -for the countryside... | 0:37:52 | 0:37:56 | |
-..as it is for the rest -of the economy. | 0:37:56 | 0:37:59 | |
-They didn't sound too hopeful. | 0:38:00 | 0:38:02 | |
-Is money scarce everywhere? | 0:38:02 | 0:38:03 | |
-Is money scarce everywhere? - -Yes. That's not new. | 0:38:03 | 0:38:05 | |
-At the start of the 1960s, -money was so tight... | 0:38:05 | 0:38:08 | |
-..the National Office -in Aberystwyth was closed. | 0:38:09 | 0:38:12 | |
-I'm going back to 1960 now. | 0:38:13 | 0:38:15 | |
-The Wales Office was -in Felin-fach, in Green Grove. | 0:38:16 | 0:38:20 | |
-Miss Jane Davies -was the Welsh Secretary. | 0:38:21 | 0:38:24 | |
-That was it, only Miss Jane Davies. | 0:38:24 | 0:38:27 | |
-She asked me one day -if I would type for her. | 0:38:27 | 0:38:31 | |
-So at that time, the Wales -Office was only the two of us. | 0:38:32 | 0:38:36 | |
-Where do the clubs get money? | 0:38:36 | 0:38:38 | |
-They raise it themselves. | 0:38:39 | 0:38:41 | |
-All of them? | 0:38:41 | 0:38:41 | |
-All of them? - -Yes. | 0:38:41 | 0:38:42 | |
-If something needs doing, -they do it. | 0:38:43 | 0:38:46 | |
-If they need a sign, someone finds -plywood, someone else brings paint. | 0:38:46 | 0:38:51 | |
-They make the sign themselves and -a few lads put it up by the road. | 0:38:51 | 0:38:56 | |
-They don't ask for a grant -or help from others. | 0:38:56 | 0:39:00 | |
-That's their way, -to do things themselves. | 0:39:00 | 0:39:04 | |
-We drove a David Brown tractor -from Fishguard Square... | 0:39:05 | 0:39:10 | |
-..to Smithfield. | 0:39:10 | 0:39:12 | |
-We left Fishguard -at 10.00am on Sunday. | 0:39:12 | 0:39:16 | |
-We travelled for 16 hours non-stop. | 0:39:17 | 0:39:20 | |
-We changed drivers every hour. | 0:39:22 | 0:39:24 | |
-We reached London in the small -hours, sooner than planned. | 0:39:25 | 0:39:30 | |
-When we came back, -they thought we were heroes. | 0:39:32 | 0:39:36 | |
-We were! | 0:39:36 | 0:39:38 | |
-They raised more than 1,500. | 0:39:38 | 0:39:40 | |
-That was a lot in the mid-1970s. | 0:39:40 | 0:39:43 | |
-Hello! Who are they? | 0:39:45 | 0:39:46 | |
-Hello! Who are they? - -The Carmarthenshire lads. | 0:39:46 | 0:39:48 | |
-They raised more than -30,000 cycling round Wales. | 0:39:48 | 0:39:53 | |
-There's a member, club or county -doing fantastic things all the time. | 0:39:53 | 0:39:59 | |
-At Christmas, there's carol singing. | 0:39:59 | 0:40:02 | |
-No-one does more than the YFC -to maintain the tradition... | 0:40:02 | 0:40:06 | |
-..or raise as much money. | 0:40:06 | 0:40:08 | |
-# The Baby awakes | 0:40:09 | 0:40:13 | |
-# But little Lord Jesus | 0:40:14 | 0:40:17 | |
-# No crying He makes # | 0:40:18 | 0:40:21 | |
-# O come, let us adore Him | 0:40:21 | 0:40:26 | |
-# Christ the Lord # | 0:40:26 | 0:40:31 | |
-They're having fun. | 0:40:32 | 0:40:34 | |
-Does that make you nostalgic? | 0:40:34 | 0:40:36 | |
-A bit. | 0:40:36 | 0:40:38 | |
-And a bit afraid. | 0:40:38 | 0:40:39 | |
-And a bit afraid. - -Why? | 0:40:39 | 0:40:40 | |
-I'm afraid for them... | 0:40:40 | 0:40:42 | |
-..what the YFC and -the countryside have to face. | 0:40:42 | 0:40:46 | |
-Don't worry, they understand. | 0:40:46 | 0:40:48 | |
-They really do. | 0:40:49 | 0:40:51 | |
-As the world moves on, -so must the YFC. | 0:40:51 | 0:40:54 | |
-These are hard times, -without a doubt. | 0:40:54 | 0:40:58 | |
-The YFC has a very -important role in education. | 0:40:58 | 0:41:02 | |
-It's important -to connect town and country. | 0:41:02 | 0:41:07 | |
-There aren't votes in the -countryside. Our voice isn't strong. | 0:41:07 | 0:41:12 | |
-It's the YFC's role -as a national movement... | 0:41:12 | 0:41:15 | |
-..to say clearly, -"We're here. We want a future here." | 0:41:15 | 0:41:19 | |
-Eighty years later, -things are starting to happen. | 0:41:20 | 0:41:24 | |
-Yes, like the Youth Forum -and Rural Affairs Committee. | 0:41:24 | 0:41:28 | |
-Yes, and stage activities. | 0:41:28 | 0:41:30 | |
-Take Llanfair Caereinion -YFC's entertainment. | 0:41:30 | 0:41:34 | |
-The young people had something -to say which was important to them. | 0:41:34 | 0:41:39 | |
-WHISTLES | 0:41:39 | 0:41:40 | |
-Right, boys, over the top! | 0:41:40 | 0:41:42 | |
-Come on, lads, go for them! | 0:41:43 | 0:41:45 | |
-Come on! | 0:41:46 | 0:41:47 | |
-EXPLOSION | 0:41:47 | 0:41:48 | |
-They develop, become more -adventurous and express themselves. | 0:41:49 | 0:41:54 | |
-They can't come to our land. | 0:41:54 | 0:41:57 | |
-They can't come to our land. | 0:41:57 | 0:42:00 | |
-They can't come to our land! | 0:42:00 | 0:42:03 | |
-They can't come to our land!! | 0:42:03 | 0:42:06 | |
-That's another story. | 0:42:06 | 0:42:08 | |
-Brecknock never did -anything in Welsh in my time. | 0:42:09 | 0:42:13 | |
-The Welsh language -has developed a lot... | 0:42:14 | 0:42:17 | |
-..in the years we've been -involved in the county. | 0:42:17 | 0:42:20 | |
-Things like the play Golau'r Epynt -did so much for the Welsh language. | 0:42:20 | 0:42:25 | |
-After being on stage once, -we went to the pub. | 0:42:25 | 0:42:29 | |
-I spoke Welsh to one lad. -He said, "Beth, give that up now. | 0:42:29 | 0:42:33 | |
-"I've been trying all day." | 0:42:33 | 0:42:35 | |
-It was an effort for him -to speak Welsh in the play. | 0:42:35 | 0:42:38 | |
-He wasn't used -to speaking Welsh socially. | 0:42:39 | 0:42:41 | |
-But now, he speaks Welsh -to me all the time. | 0:42:42 | 0:42:45 | |
-After winning, the younger members -were proud of the Welsh language. | 0:42:45 | 0:42:50 | |
-Some people say -the Welsh language is in decline... | 0:42:50 | 0:42:54 | |
-..and we can do nothing about it. | 0:42:54 | 0:42:56 | |
-They should meet the Brecknock YFC. | 0:42:57 | 0:42:58 | |
-They should meet the Brecknock YFC. - -Or come to us in Pembrokeshire. | 0:42:58 | 0:43:00 | |
-The Welsh language is so much -stronger and it's still growing. | 0:43:00 | 0:43:04 | |
-If you go back 30 years, Eglwyswrw -was very isolated in Pembrokeshire. | 0:43:05 | 0:43:10 | |
-Now, the Welsh competitions are -as popular as the English ones. | 0:43:10 | 0:43:15 | |
-The Eisteddfod is a big success. | 0:43:15 | 0:43:17 | |
-Hermon YFC is a huge success story, -winning the panto nationally. | 0:43:18 | 0:43:24 | |
-We meet here for one reason alone. | 0:43:24 | 0:43:27 | |
-To eat... | 0:43:28 | 0:43:29 | |
-WHOOPS | 0:43:29 | 0:43:30 | |
-..the bananas. | 0:43:31 | 0:43:32 | |
-Oh! | 0:43:32 | 0:43:33 | |
-First, we must make the traditional -sacrifice and kill... | 0:43:34 | 0:43:38 | |
-WHOOPS | 0:43:38 | 0:43:39 | |
-..the music. | 0:43:40 | 0:43:40 | |
-..the music. - -Oh! | 0:43:40 | 0:43:41 | |
-Thanks. | 0:43:41 | 0:43:42 | |
-A new member from England -didn't speak Welsh at first. | 0:43:43 | 0:43:47 | |
-This year, she's competing -in the Welsh play. | 0:43:48 | 0:43:51 | |
-It's only a few words, -but for her, it's special. | 0:43:51 | 0:43:55 | |
-It's nice for us as a club too. | 0:43:55 | 0:43:57 | |
-It's great. -They learn Welsh in school. | 0:43:58 | 0:44:01 | |
-The YFC gives them -a reason to use it. | 0:44:01 | 0:44:03 | |
-You've got it, just like Dai Baker. | 0:44:04 | 0:44:07 | |
-My family background isn't Welsh. -My parents don't speak Welsh. | 0:44:07 | 0:44:12 | |
-Through movements, -especially the YFC... | 0:44:12 | 0:44:16 | |
-..and Pen-y-bont YFC, -which is totally Welsh... | 0:44:16 | 0:44:20 | |
-..I work in the Welsh -language field. | 0:44:20 | 0:44:22 | |
-It's odd to think -what my life would have been like... | 0:44:23 | 0:44:26 | |
-..without the YFC link -and the Welsh language. | 0:44:27 | 0:44:31 | |
-That's what the YFC can do. | 0:44:32 | 0:44:34 | |
-You learn the language -and the culture. | 0:44:34 | 0:44:37 | |
-It's a way of life. Fantastic. | 0:44:37 | 0:44:39 | |
-It's a way of life. Fantastic. - -It is. | 0:44:39 | 0:44:40 | |
-You know where I see -most growth and confidence? | 0:44:40 | 0:44:44 | |
-In the Eisteddfod. | 0:44:44 | 0:44:46 | |
-I went to the first -YFC Wales Eisteddfod... | 0:44:50 | 0:44:53 | |
-..in the Lyric, Carmarthen. | 0:44:54 | 0:44:56 | |
-It was a very boring night. -I thought, "This won't last." | 0:44:56 | 0:45:00 | |
-There was hardly anyone there... | 0:45:02 | 0:45:04 | |
-..apart from the contestants. | 0:45:05 | 0:45:07 | |
-It's hard to imagine. | 0:45:08 | 0:45:09 | |
-It's hard to imagine. - -Look at the difference now. | 0:45:09 | 0:45:11 | |
-It's you! | 0:45:16 | 0:45:17 | |
-We also had -a Brecknock YFC Eisteddfod. | 0:45:21 | 0:45:25 | |
-The youngsters had a chance -to go to the Wales Eisteddfod. | 0:45:25 | 0:45:30 | |
-They came back, wanting to do -more next year. It's great. | 0:45:30 | 0:45:34 | |
-And it is great. | 0:45:35 | 0:45:36 | |
-But there's no success without work, -and no work without... | 0:45:36 | 0:45:40 | |
-..leaders, the most -patient people in the world. | 0:45:41 | 0:45:45 | |
-The members are odd creatures. | 0:45:45 | 0:45:47 | |
-They make you want -to tear your hair out. | 0:45:48 | 0:45:51 | |
-I must admit, at times... | 0:45:52 | 0:45:54 | |
-..when the crew was smaller, -maybe, it was difficult. | 0:45:55 | 0:46:00 | |
-It was quite a struggle. At times, -I'd be tearing my hair out. | 0:46:00 | 0:46:05 | |
-Now, it's pure pleasure -to be with them. | 0:46:06 | 0:46:09 | |
-They try their best, which is great. | 0:46:09 | 0:46:12 | |
-It was a thrill for me this year to -see so many young lads in the choir. | 0:46:13 | 0:46:18 | |
-Parents said they never thought the -lads would enjoy being in a choir. | 0:46:19 | 0:46:25 | |
-It thrilled them that their children -wanted to be in a choir. | 0:46:27 | 0:46:31 | |
-They enjoyed it too. | 0:46:32 | 0:46:35 | |
-If they weren't YFC members... | 0:46:36 | 0:46:39 | |
-..they wouldn't sing in any choir. | 0:46:41 | 0:46:43 | |
-That must be very special. | 0:46:45 | 0:46:47 | |
-I would be nowhere -without Young Farmers. | 0:46:53 | 0:46:56 | |
-It helps young people to develop. | 0:46:56 | 0:46:59 | |
-I don't want my children -to grow up without the YFC. | 0:47:00 | 0:47:03 | |
-Another eighty years and more. | 0:47:03 | 0:47:06 | |
-It's an investment. One generation -takes care of the next. | 0:47:06 | 0:47:10 | |
-It's a natural process. -It's been going for eighty years. | 0:47:11 | 0:47:15 | |
-Keep young people coming. -They're the future. | 0:47:15 | 0:47:19 | |
-Keep at it, boys! | 0:47:19 | 0:47:21 | |
-Elen and I have enjoyed... | 0:47:23 | 0:47:24 | |
-Elen and I have enjoyed... - -Whoa! | 0:47:24 | 0:47:25 | |
-One clip is missing. | 0:47:25 | 0:47:27 | |
-Is there? | 0:47:28 | 0:47:29 | |
-Yes. | 0:47:30 | 0:47:31 | |
-It's very important advice -for you, today's Young Farmers. | 0:47:31 | 0:47:35 | |
-Glyn Powell, tell them. | 0:47:35 | 0:47:37 | |
-Goodnight. | 0:47:37 | 0:47:38 | |
-We need members. | 0:47:39 | 0:47:41 | |
