Guest speakers lined up for next meeting of Llanelli Rugby Business Network


Llanelli Rugby Business Network
Tuesday 10th May 2016
6pm till 8pm at Parc y Scarlets

The aim of the Llanelli Rugby Business Network is to promote and enhance business inWales, particularly within the local area.
During the meetings all attendees will be provided with the opportunity of introducing their business, the services they provide and the type of leads and introductions they are seeking, plus there will be ample opportunity for informal open networking in a friendly, informal and welcoming environment. There is also usually a guest speaker at all our events, whose talk is either business focussed or associated with Rugby Union.
This month’s meeting will include two short talks from regular attendees of our group - Gareth Harris and Peter Rees-Jones.
Gareth Harris, Owner/Director of e-development, will be enlightening us on the benefits that can be derived from using Twitter in promoting your business.
The theme of his talk will be Tweets, Retweets and Hashtags, a few things you can do to on Twitter to assist in developing your business.
Peter Rees-Jones, Co-owner/Director of NEI(UK), will then talk to us about the difference between Tour Operators and Travel Agents and will explain who actually makes and delivers your precious overseas holiday.
Most people believe that this is the travel agent, but in fact it is the tour operator, whose product is sold by the travel agent, who does all the hard work and makes sure you have a great time when you are overseas and protects the money you pay for your holiday.
His short talk will demonstrate to us how the whole process works and what more a tour operator does in adding value and enjoyment to your vacation.
You can register your interest in attending via the following link:

 refreshments), which is payable on the night. It is important that you register your interest prior to the event so that adequate refreshments can be provided. Members of other networking groups are welcome to join us at our events for which there are no annual membership fees involved.
We look forward to welcoming you on Tuesday, 10th May. Registration is between 5.30 - 6.00 (6.00 p.m. start), for what again will hopefully prove to be a productive Networking event.

Former Gower MP Gareth Wardell the guest speaker at Llanelli Rotary Club

Image
Former Gower MP Gareth Wardell was the guest speaker at the weekly meeting of Llanelli Rotary Club held at the Stradey Park Hotel. Mr Wardell gave an illuminating address, weaving comparisons between his job as a politician and his late father's job as a Tumble barber. It was an amusing, highly-entertaining and thought-provoking address. Mr Wardell, now 69, won the Gower constituency seat in a Parliamentary by-election in 1982. The Labour MP held the seat until his retirement in 1997. He now works as a public affairs consultant in Wales. Mr Wardell's Parliamentary term was largely in opposition to Margaret Thatcher's Conservative Government. But his did make a significant contribution by being the youngest MP to chair the Welsh Affairs Select Committee. Mr Wardell recognised that in the 'fame stakes' he may have played second fiddle to his father, Jack, who was one of the UK's oldest barbers and who cut and styled hair for almost 80 years. Jac

Ammanford-based Lauryn Davey is making a major mark in the world of Welsh athletics. At just 16, she is the best all-round athlete of her age in Wales. She's chalking up Welsh championship victories and has been honoured by her club, the Carmarthen Harriers. Lauryn's been earmarked as a future international star, but knows the road to the big championships is difficult, demanding and expensive. Ammanford businessman and well-known comic entertainer Phil Evans has launched a campaign to get cash backers for Lauryn's athletics career. "Everyone in the area is hugely proud of her achievements in athletics to date," said Phil. "But we also want to see her go on and do bigger and better things. "Together with some friends, I am helping find ways of generating much-needed sponsorship cash for Lauryn.
