<strong>Issue</strong> 5 <strong>Jul</strong>y <strong>2012</strong><br />
The Welsh Area Council (WAC) met at The Heritage Park Hotel,<br />
Trehafod on Sunday 17th June. The meeting was attended by active<br />
businesses and members who have been the stalwarts <strong>of</strong> the Area<br />
for many years.<br />
The meeting welcomed John Penaluna as the new Executive Councillor<br />
for Wales and thanks were given to Adrian Herdman for his many<br />
years <strong>of</strong> service as acting EC and for his work with the Area Council.<br />
Wales is not just a region; it is a whole country and geographically is<br />
something <strong>of</strong> a challenge. The WAC is committed to making closer<br />
links with all members in Wales and hope that with the addition <strong>of</strong> a<br />
Facebook page – Welsh fish and chip shops and friers will assist in<br />
this. Members who want to join can search for it on Facebook or<br />
contact John Penaluna or Thomas Pick at the NFFF Head Office.<br />
The meeting was an ideal opportunity for business owners to meet and<br />
discuss daily issues which arise and a greater comradeship was made<br />
between the friers who attended, some <strong>of</strong> them for the very first time,<br />
helping them understand that although they were facing many issues,<br />
there was always someone available who would be able to assist, even<br />
if just lending a listening ear, and <strong>of</strong> course that they were all facing<br />
similar issues at some stage.<br />
John Penaluna, in his first EC report provided information on a variety<br />
<strong>of</strong> subjects including KPMG and VAT, YFFY and Prince Charles<br />
coverage, nutritional testing, FSA and scores on the doors and the<br />
Quality Award scheme.<br />
The meeting delegates shared lunch together and many discussions<br />
took place, surprisingly around fish and chip shops, it was encouraging<br />
to see positive discussions and help and encouragement to fellow<br />
friers, the meeting closed with a date provisionally set for the next one,<br />
in the same venue. We hope that we shall be able to draw some more<br />
friers in and expand the network.<br />
