Swansea and West Wales Insurance Institute Annual Dinner

A black tie dinner tonight as I joined the Swansea and West Wales Insurance Institute for their annual dinner. I am told that the Lord Mayor attends this dinner every year so it was an honour to continue that tradition.

The guest speaker was the snooker player Willie Thorne, who regaled us with anecdotes about his playing and commenting career, as well as stories from his life afterwards.

And there was a very generous raffle to raise money for a new charity seeking to establish a respite centre for veterans in an old chapel in the north of Swansea, in Felindre.
