WELSH CHARITABLES RFC TO HONOUR FORMER GREATS

On Friday the 13^th November 2009 at the Greenmeadow Golf & Country Club Cwmbran the Welsh Charitables RFC are holding their annual Vice Presidents Dinner and this year they are honouring some former greats of the 60's & 70's by making them Honorary Vice Presidents.

Receiving their Vice Presidents ties on the night will be Stuart Watkins, Keith Jarrett, Arthur Lewis, Terry Cobner covering their respected clubs Newport, Ebbw Vale and Pontypool. Remembering that both Arthur Lewis and Terry Cobner are former Wales Captains.

Hon Secretary David Power says "You can't take anything away from these greats of the game who over the years have not only brought pleasure to thousands throughout the rugby world, they've also supported the Welsh Charitables RFC by attending many of our functions and putting something back into the game. By doing so it enabled us to raise a lot of money for our supported charities". He went on to say "It is indeed a privilege to know some of these greats personally and honouring them is a small way of saying thank you for all their support over the years. To have such an attendance of former Greats will enhance the evening's proceedings". "We will also be announcing our new President on the night as our current President, Dennis Willmott, has decided to stand down due to work commitments. He has done a tremendous job over the last seven years for which we are very grateful and pleased that he will remain as a trustee.

They will be joined on the night by former Wales & British Lion Internationals, David Watkins who is the Guest Speaker, Bryn Meredith, Dai Morris, John Perkins, Nigel Meek, Richard Smith and Dai Parker the Neath Great to name but a few they will also be taking part in a Question and Answer session after the main speaker, so a great night should be had by all.

All monies raised on the night will go to the Welsh Charitables RFC "We Want a Million Appeal" to form a Trust Fund to support their nominated charities namely, St Anne's Hospice, WREX The Wales Rugby former International Players Association, Ty Hafan the family hospice for young lives, The Princes Trust Cymru who've just recently be added to our supported charities and St David's Foundation Hospice Care.
