A sum of £2,660 was raised at an auction of sporting memorabilia and agricultural products plus a raffle during a fund-raising dinner at Parc y Scarlets, Llanelli, organised by the FUW's Carmarthenshire branch to celebrate the Royal Agricultural Benevolent Institution's (RABI) 150th anniversary.

Guest speakers at the dinner were First Minister Carwyn Jones and Rural Affairs Minister Elin Jones. Proceeds of the auction and raffle run by the MC for the evening, former Welsh rugby international player Rupert Moon, were presented to RABI's Carmarthenshire branch.
