Farm and estate workers from Pembrokeshire, who have been employed on the land for 25 years or more, can be nominated for the Pembrokeshire Agricultural Society’s Long Service Award 2023.

The President and Committee of the Pembrokeshire Agricultural Society wish to offer inscribed Awards to both male and female workers who have not received a Pembrokeshire Agricultural Society Long Service Award previously.

The 2023 Long Service Awards presentation will take place on Wednesday, 16 August at 4pm, in the President’s Pavilion at the Pembrokeshire County Show and the Award recipient and guest will receive complimentary entry tickets to the show.

Brian Jones, President of the Pembrokeshire Agricultural Society said, “We are very much looking forward to receiving applications for this year’s Long Service Award. It gives us great pleasure as a Society to reward those who have been employed for such a significant time by one employer in the county. We recognise what an achievement this is and it deserves an award. The decision of the committee will be final.”

1. The recipient must, on the first day of the Annual Show, have been in service for 25 years on the same farm continuously, or continuously in the service of the same employer within Pembrokeshire.
