[QUOTE="Cowabunga, post: 6550497, member: 718"] To my knowledge there is no mention of spending money, any money, on this idea. All they are asking is for ideas on how Welsh farming could further aid the language. One of the ways it does it locally is that almost all the YFC clubs in Ceredigion are run through Welsh. That certainly doesn't mean that English speaking children or young adults are excluded. Indeed a fairly high proportion of members are not from Welsh speaking or even farming backgrounds, but they soon get to speak Welsh, because everyone else does. My step-niece has a London background and that is the route that she took. She became fluent in Welsh in her teens and actually went back to London to work after leaving university before becoming a deputy headmistress in a Liverpool school. She has just started a three year stint as a deputy head in Dubai with 60 teachers under her instruction. She is proud of her Welsh and uses it with all her friends in the area and has given her confidence and a wider social circle and, combined with the YFC experience, the social and personal confidence to make a success of her life globally.
