Wales YFC members create themed caravans to win a free stay at Young People’s Village
The Royal Welsh Show got off to a tremendous start this past weekend, with young Welsh attendees putting their best design skills to the test and providing their own take on what they think caravans should look like in a bid to win a free holiday.
The competition, which saw members of Wales’ Young Farmers Club (YFC), pick up their paintbrushes to create some quirky caravan offerings, saw numerous designs submitted in order to win a free stay in the Young People’s Village next year, with the prize going to the “best looking pitch.”
All different kinds of caravanners have tossed their hat in the ring to take home the prize, and the themes are varied. This year there was a John Deere forager, a Dukes of Hazzard themed caravan, and even one painted in tiger stripes.
The decorated caravans come from all over Wales, with many months to complete. The John Deere forager caravan, in particular, came all the way from Carmarthenshire, and took two months to complete. The caravan was crafted by Hefin Jones, 19, Dan Jones, 21, and Sion Evans, 24.
The competition, open to 16 to 27 year olds and taking place in Builth from 20 to 23 of July, joins a whole host of other activities taking place during the show, including those based on forestry, crafts and sports, with the intention of the show being to showcase Welsh livestock, food and drink, as well as connect town and country.
