Brecon Rugby Club has raised £510 for Wales Air Ambulance following a pre-international dinner attended by 95 guests.

The event was organised by club chairman Eifion Morgan during a weekend break from competitive senior rugby, ahead of Wales' match against Japan at the Principality Stadium on Saturday, November 7.

Former Wales international Alex Cuthbert was the guest speaker, sharing his experiences of playing for his country and the British and Irish Lions.

Cuthbert won 57 caps for Wales, scoring 17 tries, and also scored during the Lions' 2013 tour of Australia.

Guests enjoyed a dinner organised by club steward Sharon Williams, with help from club staff and members of the youth team, before watching Wales' victory over Japan.

The evening continued after the final whistle with a Heads and Tails competition, raising money for the Wales Air Ambulance.

On Friday, November 13, Mr Morgan, accompanied by Ms Williams and long-serving club member Ron Rowsell, formally presented the £510 donation to Hugh Tamlyn, fundraising manager for Powys.

Mr Tamlyn thanked the club for its support, saying donations helped ensure the continuation of a service which plays a vital role in Wales' emergency services.

Wales Air Ambulance provides lifesaving medical care across Wales around the clock, responding to people suffering life or limb-threatening injuries and illnesses. The charity relies entirely on public donations to raise £13m each year to keep its helicopters and rapid response vehicles operating. Since it was established in 2001, it has attended more than 50,000 missions.
