This year the County were most fortunate to be approached by Councillor David Price, Chairman of Powys County Council and were asked to nominate three members from the County to receive Youth Excellent awards. Members were nominated on their commitment to their club, County and their Community. The three members who received awards were Mary Phillips, Sennybridge YFC, Katie O'Byrne, Trecastle YFC and Morgan Powell, Ytsradfellte YFC. The awards were presented by Cllr. Price at the Drama Festival.
Mary Phillips, Sennybridge YFC Youth Excellence Award Winner

Mary is a hard working and dedicated member always willing to lend a hand and has the best interests of the movement at heart.

Katie has the young member's best interest at heart and encourages and supports them in what ever they wish to do. She is willing to turn her hand to anything for the better of the club and to spur on the junior members.
Morgan Powell, Ystradfellte YFC Youth Excellence Award Winner
Ystradfellte is the smallest club of Brecknock County, Morgan has been a club officer for many years and without his determination the club would have folded.

He has worked hard alongside club leaders to keep the club on track securing funding and making sure they have a varied programme of events. Morgan plays a big part within the local community for example sitting in the local village hall committee and show committee.
