THE ANNUAL President’s Lunch unfolded in grand style on Sunday (Mar 17), raising over £5,000 for several cherished charities. The event, marked by the presence of Welsh rugby legend Jonathan ‘Jiffy’ Davies, captivated guests with engaging anecdotes from his illustrious career in sports.
Mr. Davies, who made a special journey to attend, was the guest of honour at this muchanticipated event. His compelling storytelling and warm engagement with the audience were the highlights of the afternoon, eliciting widespread appreciation and thanks from the attendees.
The gastronomic offerings, prepared by Cwm Gwaun Catering, were of exceptional quality, living up to the high expectations set by previous events.

In tandem, the Absolute Event Bars team ensured that the revelry was well-accompanied by a selection of fine beverages, maintaining a high spirit of conviviality throughout the occasion.
A pivotal element of the day’s agenda was the popular auction and raffle, which, along with generous donations from supporters, culminated in a substantial fund exceeding £5,000. The proceeds are earmarked for the President’s chosen charities: Tir Dewi, The DPJ Foundation, and RABI, all of which are dedicated to supporting communities within the agricultural sector.
The success of the event owes much to the relentless efforts of the President, Mr. Brian Jones, and the President’s Lady, Mrs. Helen Jones, alongside their team of dedicated helpers.
