Eleri Sion to host Torfaen Women in Business fundraiser
Broadcaster Eleri Sion will host Torfaen’s Women in Business event at the Parkway Hotel and Spa in Cwmbran on Thursday 5 November. Tickets are advertised at £20, with all proceeds going to Mind in Gwent. The council has confirmed a programme centred on mental health and wellbeing, alongside networking, afternoon tea and live entertainment.
Speakers and trade tables
The line-up includes Sarah-Jane Waters of AP Waters Building Contractors, plus Ria Gibbs and Rachel Knight of Reflect and Refocus Positive Change Coaching. A craft fayre will give local businesses a chance to sell products. The council’s news announcement advertises trade tables at £30. Businesses interested in a table can contact businessdirect@torfaen.gov.uk. The event is sponsored by the Parkway Hotel. The council’s event listing gives the venue postcode as NP44 3AW.
Check the start time before booking
The council’s two pages give different start times: its news announcement says 4.30pm, while the event listing says 4pm. Both give an 8pm finish. Readers should confirm arrival arrangements with businessdirect@torfaen.gov.uk before booking. The council’s event page links to its booking service and provides the same contact for craft-fayre tables. The announcement does not establish that paying for a trade table also includes an admission ticket.
