KEVIN and Anne Davies of the Gwesty’r Emlyn Hotel hosted an evening with Scarlets coach and future Welsh coach Wayne Pivac along with rugby stars Gareth Davies, Ken Owens Rob Evans and Phil Bennett.

The evening at Newcastle Emlyn began with an introduction by the inspirational Mia Lloyd, from Cardigan, who received a standing ovation for her exceptional bravery and wise words.

Mia also spoke of Noah’s Ark Children's Hospital where she is the Young Ambassador for the charity, a role Mia believes is a way of repaying the kindness shown to her during her illness.

The evening was well attended as Dan Vaughan chatted to Wayne Pivac about the Scarlets and also the forthcoming new job as Wales Head coach. Gareth Davies, Rob Evans and Ken Owens with Phil Bennett were also put on the hot seat for a Q&A session with Dan Vaughan.

The evening concluded with a charity auction and raffle with items donated by rugby players, friends, family and local business in the area.

Kevin, Anne and family would like to thank all who supported the evening in any way for their kind generosity. A sum in excess of £12,000 was raised on the night.
