th February and should see a similar turn-out as we welcome our new First Minister, Carwyn Jones. He should still be a good draw for the proceedings, and we are honoured that he has agreed to become one of his first high-profile speaking engagements.

February will also see the start of party conference season – and the Six Nations rugby season – so we will be combining the best of both worlds and hosting an England v Wales big-screen reception at the Lib Dem conference in Swansea on the 6

th February. It's sure to be packed out, and with FSB banners proudly standing either side of the big screen our coverage will be every bit as good as the BBC's. We will also be holding a WAG Cabinet Minister's lunch at the Welsh Labour conference in Swansea, as well as sponsoring conference events at Plaid Cymru in Cardiff and the Welsh Conservatives in Llandudno.

Shortly afterwards, on March 9

th, we have our Annual FSB Wales Chair Westminster Reception, and are hoping to secure the services of the Secretary of State for Wales, Peter Hain, to speak.

Finally, we will also be hosting the FE Awards for Wales in June.
