GWENT Young Farmers' Clubs have staged their Festival of Entertainments in a new venue this year - the Main Hall of Haberdashers' Monmouth School for Girls.
The capacity crowd were entertained by four, 30 minute productions which were full of colour, humour, dancing and music. The adjudicator, Marie O'Sullivan from the Guild of Drama Adjudicators, was very impressed with the standard of all four productions and stated that the young people had really put on some very professional performances.
