Butcher competitions to be held at Royal Welsh Winter Fair
The Royal Welsh Winter Fair, in Builth Wells will host the annual Welsh Young Butcher Competition, as well as the new Welsh Pork Butcher Competition this November.
The Welsh Young Butcher event is open to butchers under the age of 25 on 1st January 2015, whilst butchers of all ages who currently live or work in Wales are being encouraged to enter the Welsh Pork Butcher Competition.
The young crafts people will be challenged to produce a display of meat in two hours from a whole top rump of Welsh Beef, a leg of PGI Welsh Lamb, half a shoulder of Welsh Pork and a whole Cefn Llan Welsh chicken. The winner will receive a cheque for £130.
In the pork competition butchers will be given two hours to create an innovative and creative display from half a Welsh pig, using either modern or traditional methods to best promote Welsh Pork to consumers.
A panel of judges will select four finalists in each competition from their applications, which must be submitted by 9th November. Entry forms can be downloaded at www.cambriantraining.com
