Massai farmers entertain crowds at Lantra and develop their skills

A group of young African visitors from Massai farming families performed a crowd-stopping routine of traditional song and dance from their native Eastern Africa when they visited the Lantra stand at the Royal Welsh Show.

Members of the group were fascinated by a demonstration on the stand by Graham Butt of Llwynon Saddlery, Trecastle, Powys. Graham was demonstrating the hand-stitching skills he uses to create top quality saddles and other goods. The Massai visitors compared Graham's stitching with that on their own belts and costumes, before having a go at some stitching themselves.

A key feature of the stand was a manual handling demonstration by Lantra training providers, Martin Glen and Simon Singlehurst to raise awareness of the importance of good manual handling techniques and to encourage those who work in the sector to undertake manual handling training. The mixed group of boys and girls from the Samburu Massai watched with interest and got involved in the "hands on" demonstrations. The group left with a better understanding of the "dos and don'ts" of manual handing, which it was hoped will be beneficial to them when they return home.


Lantra, the Sector Skills Council for the Environmental and Land-based Sector, is dedicated to developing the skills and business development opportunities of those who work in land-based industries. The sector covers 17 industries, from agriculture and fencing through to the trees and timber and equine industry.
