British Wool yn cyhoeddi Elis Ifan Jones fel enillydd rhaglen ddatblygu Cymru.

Cyhoeddwyd mai Elis Ifan Jones o Llanddeiniolen, Caernarfon, sy’n astudio cwrs Amaethyddiaeth Lefel 3 BTEC yng Ngholeg Glynllifon fel enillydd rhaglen Hyfforddi a Datblygu newydd British Wool.

Lansiwyd y Rhaglen Hyfforddi a Datblygu Cneifio British Wool newydd yn gynharach eleni sy'n cynnig cyfle i un enillydd o bob gwlad yn y DU ennill 12 mis o hyfforddiant yn ogystal â phecyn gwobr Cneifio Lister gwerth £500.

Ar ddechrau'r rhaglen 12 mis, bydd yr agwedd hyfforddi yn cynnwys mynychu cwrs cneifio peiriant Gwlân Prydeinig, wedi'i ddilyn gan gwrs gêr, cwrs trin gwlân. Bydd yr agwedd ddatblygu yn rhoi cyfle i Elis gael cyngor gan hyfforddwyr cneifio British Wool profiadol a hefyd yn cael y cyfle i ddysgu gan rhai o gontractwr cneifio mwyaf y wlad. Yn ystod y rhaglen 12 mis, bydd pedwar enillydd y DU hefyd yn ymweld â phrif swyddfa graddio gwlân British Wool’yn Bradford yn ogystal â ffatri sgwrio, er mwyn dysgu mwy am y gadwyn gyflenwi gwlân.

Dywedodd Elis -

“Fy record hyd yma yw cneifio 160 o ddefaid mewn diwrnod, rwyf bob amser wedi bod eisiau gwella fy hun a gwella fy sgiliau - credaf fy mod bellach yn barod i symud i'r lefel nesaf yn fy natblygiad cneifio. Mae'r pecyn gwobr Lister Shearing a gynigir yn y gystadleuaeth yn wych sy'n cynnwys cymaint o ddarnau defnyddiol o offer nad wyf yn berchen arnynt eto. "

Ychwanegodd Elis:

“Rwy’n credu bod cneifio yn gyfle gwych i gwrdd â phobl newydd trwy ymweld â ffermydd eraill ac i gymdeithasu hefyd. Mae yna bob amser ddigon o hwyl i'w gael yn ogystal â'r holl chwys a gwaith caled! "

The new British Wool Shearing Training & Development Programme was launched earlier this year which offers one winner from each UK nation the opportunity of winning 12 months of training as well as a Lister Shearing prize package worth £500.

At the beginning of the 12 month programme, the training aspect will include attending a British Wool machine shearing course, followed by a gear course, a wool handling course and completing the programme would be a second machine shearing course. The development aspect would give Elis the opportunity to get advice from experienced British Wool shearing instructors and also, depending on availability and shearing ability, the opportunity to gain on farm experience working with a shearing contractor. During the 12 months programme, the four UK winners will also visit British Wool’s Bradford head office and wool grading depot as well as a scouring plant, following the wool supply chain process.

Elis stated -

“My best achievement to date is shearing 160 sheep in a day, I’ve always wanted to better myself and improve my skills - I believe that I am now ready to move to the next level in my shearing development. The Lister Shearing prize package offered in the competition is fantastic which includes so many handy pieces of equipment that I don’t yet own.”

Elis concluded:

“I believe shearing is a great opportunity to meet new people by visiting other farms and for socialising too. There’s always plenty of fun to be had as well as all the sweat and hard work!”

Congratulations Elis, we are very proud of your achievement.

Ready to apply? To help you make your final decision, the Grŵp is running a virtual open event throughout the summer. You can find out more about the wide range of courses on offer, what it's like to study at college and the excellent support available from the comfort and safety of your own home. You'll also be able to apply online and secure your place for September 2021.

But hurry, as places are filling up fast! Visit our website today at gllm.ac.uk or email generalenquiries@gllm.ac.uk.

We look forward to welcoming you very soon!
