Cardiff Ambassadors Spring Breakfast


The Cardiff Ambassadors Spring Breakfast took place on Thursday 20 May at the Vale Resort. Nearly 130 guests registered for the event and just over 110 attended. The topic for discussion was High Speed Rail and the keynote speaker Professor Stuart Cole of the University of Glamorgan gave an interesting insight into electrification and the importance of High Speed Rail to the South Wales/West regions. A panel debate was then moderated by Felicity Evans of BBC Wales and presenter of the Dragon’s Eye programme. Guest speakers were Cllr Rodney Berman Leader of Cardiff Council, Cllr Barbara Janke, Leader of Bristol City Council, and John Jarvis, Transport Director of Northern Way.

Main sponsors of the event were the University of Glamorgan (title sponsor), the Vale Resort, Capital Regional Tourism, Push4 and Quadrant.
