Carmarthenshire County Council hosted a Rural Affairs conference on Friday, at the Haliwell Centre. Well attended, it was sponsored by LHP accountants, Trinity St Davids and Coleg Sir Gar.
The hosting, speakers and content - with Brexit top of the agenda - created a real buzz, as you can see and hear in the video. We're only sorry we were unable to attend all the afternoon workshops, as the two we attended, on infrastructure and entrepreneurship, were terrific.Confronting the Elephant in the Room of Brexit. as Cllr Cefin Campbell described it , seemed to influence the whole atmosphere and encourage attendees to be frank and open.
Now a lot of you reading this will be familiar with the stuffy and uptight nature of a lot of conferences. There was none of this here. Indeed, it is the very first conference we've attended where a questioner to the main stage managed to mention that he had a most fine ram for sale, and was open to any offers...
Excellent event, and thanks Carmarthenshire CC, sponsors and all speakers. You were generous, helpful and most interesting. Diolch yn fawr.
