Clay Shaw Butler boss meets Olympic hero
Clay Shaw Butler director David Butler met one of his
sporting heroes - the legendary Welsh sprinter Ron Jones.
Mr Jones was in Carmarthen for a SportsAid lunch held at
The Ivy Bush Royal Hotel, Carmarthen.
Mr Butler, director of Clay Shaw Butler, is the
vice-chairman of the Carmarthen branch of the SportsAid Wales charity.
He presented a cheque for £5000, on behalf of SportsAid
Carmarthen, to Mr Jones.
SportsAid Wales has supported some of the nation's most
successful athletes of all time, including Nicole Cooke who brought home gold
from the Beijing Olympic Games.
The charity holds regular fundraising events and lunches
and is keen to work more closely with local businesses and organisations to
help the next generation of sporting heroes who hail from Wales to achieve
their potential.
Mr Jones heads up SportsAid Wales.
He was the athletics team captain for Team GB at the 1968
Mexico Olympics and was inducted into the Welsh Athletics Hall of Fame in 2009.
Mr Butler said: "In this Olympics year, it was an
honour to meet such a great sporting hero such as Ron Jones."
