Also, it is distributed generously across all the finalists and even the losing semi-finalists, which means support and encouragement is provided to as many young people as possible. The winner gets the prestigious Worshipful Company of Woolmen gold medal.
“Medals are very important we think,” says Charles, “because they're something tangible. Money's lovely to have, but 'Winner of gold medal' actually means something. They can put it on their CV.”
The first qualifying show will be for junior shearers in Northern Ireland at the Royal Ulster on the 12th May.
There is now an abundance of promising young junior shearers all over the UK thanks to the quality of Wool Board training schemes, and competition for the title of 'Worshipful Company of Woolmen Junior Champion' will be tougher than ever. Trying to predict who might win is impossible. One thing is for certain though: the ten lucky young shearers who make it to the finals at the Royal Welsh in July will never forget the experience, or the encouragement it will undoubtedly give them.
