Prime Minister attends Spring Forum at SWALEC Stadium
14th March 2011

Our events team were honoured to welcome the Prime Minister to the SWALEC Stadium earlier this month as the Conservative Party held the Spring Forum in Wales for the first time.

Prior to the conference Stephen Phillips, Head of Conferences for the Conservative Party said “The SWALEC Stadium was chosen as our venue for the Spring Forum because of its location, facilities and reputation. The entire venue will be fully utilised for the main conference, exhibition and fringe events and we expect it to be a very successful event attracting a high number of delegates. Cardiff is a fantastic City and well known for hosting major sporting and business events. We look forward to bringing this event to Wales for the first time.”

After a successful weekend Craig Walsh, SWALEC Stadium Hospitality Director, commented “By attracting this event to Wales, the SWALEC Stadium has firmly established itself as a major player in the UK conference market.  We are proud to have represented Wales and Cardiff and pleased that our cricket and conferencing events attract visitors to Cardiff and support many other local businesses as a result.”

SWALEC Stadium and Cardiff chosen to host 2011 Conservative Party Spring Forum
7th January 2011

The SWALEC Stadium has been chosen to host the Conservative Party Spring Forum 2011. This will be the first time the event has come to Cardiff and is expected to attract nearly 3000 delegates to the city centre venue. Speaking at the conference will be Prime Minister and Leader of the Conservative Party David Cameron as well as other Cabinet Ministers.

The forum in 2010 was held in Brighton and attracted over 2500 delegates including, media, commercial partners and party members.

The event will attract local, national and international media with many sessions broadcast live. It will be an important time for the forum to take place in Wales as Welsh Assembly elections will be taking place just a few months later.

“The SWALEC Stadium was chosen as our venue for the Spring Forum because of its location, facilities and reputation. The entire venue will be fully utilised for the main conference, exhibition and fringe events and we expect it to be a very successful event attracting a high number of delegates.

“Since the SWALEC Stadium burst onto the events scene by hosting the 1st Ashes test in 2009 we have consistently and successfully hosted a wide variety of major sporting, corporate and political events. We look forward to continuing to do so throughout 2011 and to welcoming Prime Minister David Cameron to Wales and the SWALEC Stadium in March.”

Glamorgan Cricket Raise Funds for Pakistan Flood Appeal
24th August 2010

24 August 2010

Glamorgan Cricket has announced that it will use the two England v Pakistan NatWest Twenty20 matches, to be held at the SWALEC Stadium in the first week of September, to help raise significant sums of money for the Pakistan Flood Appeal.

The recent floods have been recorded as the worst for over 80 years flooding an area larger than Wales, with at least 1,600 people having lost their lives, with many more still missing. As many as 20 million people have been affected by the disaster and it is feared that over six million children are now at risk of malnutrition, diarrhoea and pneumonia – consequently aid to the country is desperately vital.

In addition to having bucket collections at the matches on Sunday 5th and Tuesday 7th September, the Club has confirmed that 10% of all future ticket sales will also be donated to the flood appeal. Those attending the matches will also be able to make donations at a designated Islamic Relief marquee situated at the ground.

Glamorgan Cricket sees the England v Pakistan match as an appropriate event to raise significant funds for Pakistan, with many people attending the matches directly linked to people who have been immediately affected by the devastation.

Glamorgan Cricket Chief Executive, Alan Hamer said, “It is extremely distressing to witness on the news, the devastation caused by the recent floods in Pakistan. Millions of people need our help and the Club recognises that the forthcoming England v Pakistan matches provide an opportunity to raise much needed money for the appeal.”

. . .

Tickets for the NatWest International Twenty20 series England v Pakistan 5 September 2.30pm and 7 September 6.00pm are on sale now at www.glamorgancricket.com or
Tel: 02920 419311 or call into the SWALEC Stadium.
