SULWYN SIGNS AUTOBIOGRAPHY ON FUW STAND

Former presenter of S4C's Ffermio programme Sulwyn Thomas will be signing copies of his just-published autobiography on the Farmers' Union of Wales stand during next week's Royal Welsh Winter Fair.

The popular broadcaster will be on the union's stand behind the auctioneer's show ring position in the livestock complex building between 11am and noon on Tuesday, December 2.

Sulwyn is also renowned for his enthusiasm on the former BBC Radio Cymru programme "Stondin Sulwyn" and the same fervour is found in his new book as he recalls his fulfilling and busy life.

FUW president Gareth Vaughan said: "Sulwyn Thomas is a popular and well recognised person throughout Wales and he is still very proactive in Welsh cultural circles, especially in the Carmarthen area.

"But most of all he's an accomplished public speaker and a natural communicator and I'm sure this comes to the fore in his autobiography. ''Stondin Sulwyn'' broke new ground by bringing the people to the medium in every sense of the word and important issues were discussed by ordinary people as well as experts.

"However, the biggest appeal of the programme was, without a doubt, its lively presenter. The same liveliness runs through his book in which he tells about his memories in an interesting way and traces the history of his busy life."
