This was in my official role as President of the Cardiff Speakers Club where I compered the Gala Dinner of the National Association of Speakers Clubs.
Both myself and the Lord Mayor finished our term of office in late Spring so it was a great opportunity to catch up.
The city of Cardiff welcomed this most prestigious event with open arms and the three course dinner was outstanding as indeed was the live band who later played music at the venue.
My speech included some favourite anecdotes and stories about Cardiff, holding high office and retiring from the lofty heights as Lord Mayor.
It was extremely well received with laughter all around.
A very enjoyable evening sat with the President of the National Association and his wife and the Lord and Lady Mayoress of Cardiff.
I would be delighted to attend this venue again in a similar capacity.
