Minutes:
The Retiring Chair Councillor Eryl Morgan welcomed distinguished guests, Councillors, staff and friends to the meeting.
Councillor Morgan reflected on his year in office and thanked the residents of Carmarthenshire for inviting him to a number of functions and events which, as Chair, had provided him with a unique opportunity to see what was happening in communities within the County, and had provided an opportunity to mix with the various organisations and bodies that operated within the rich and varied county of Carmarthenshire. He expressed his sincere gratitude for all the support he and his consort had received throughout what he personally considered to be a very successful year. The Retiring Chair advised that one of his priorities during the year had been to raise money for his nominated charities namely Ty Bryngwyn Hospice and Prostrate Cancer Equipment at Prince Philip Hospital, Llanelli, and he thanked all members, staff and the residents of Carmarthenshire for their support and donations. He thanked his Vice Chairman, Councillor Irfon Jones, and his Consort, Mrs. Jean Jones, for their support and company during his term of office
The Retiring Chair expressed his gratitude to Mr Mark James, for his advice and professional guidance, and to Directors and staff of the authority who had supported the work of the Chair, including the Democratic Services Unit, his driver Jeff Jones, and in particular Eira Evans for her professional and personal support, arranging his events and making sure that everything always ran smoothly.
