Emily Hunt always has her eye on good PR – and rugby union’s Heineken Cup fitted the bill for her on Friday, October 15.
The sales manager of Swansea’s Village Hotel handed two corporate hospitality tickets to a contact from electronic systems company Thales – and a great time was had.
The Ospreys beat London Irish in a high quality clash, there was a healthy 13,000+ crowd, the food and drink was excellent and the taxis didn’t arrive til midnight or thereabouts.
There was a spare ticket and Emily offered that to me. Here’s a brief taste of the night – http://bit.ly/b7bfoP

A cheap shot for Swansea Bay publicity
A European rugby union disciplinary officer has ticked off the Ospreys and full-back Lee Byrne.
They allowed 16 players over the whitewash during Saturday's tussle with Leicester Tigers. That's about one more than the 15 allowed - or 6.7% if you took A level Sums.
Sounds like simple arithmetic ... but if your business is a provider of maths tuition why not write to Scott Johnson & Co? Offer your services by hosting a "numbers refresher" before April's Heineken Cup quarter-final in Biarritz.
You could even do it in French to take account of the big game's prevailing lingo.
Your pitch may not result in business from the boys in black (in fact, it definitely won't) - but it may humour one or two Swansea Bay journalists into giving you publicity ...
If you'd like to know how, you know where to come.

Ospreys boost Swansea rugby & business profiles
The Ospreys beat Leicester Tigers at Swansea's Liberty Stadium this afternoon to qualify for the quarter-finals of rugby union's Heineken Cup.
Well done to them ... and if you run a business and want to get noticed in the Swansea Bay area in the run-up to the early-April last eight game ... get on the ball quickly!
The simple way to do this is to link some forthcoming media activity with this big sports weekend. It's gonna be big - in the South Wales Evening Post especially. Advertising could carry a "Back the Ospreys" message, press releases could be formulated to reveal how the company further plans to support the efforts of Ryan Jones & Co.
If you need confirmation that the Post - Wales' biggest selling newspaper - is interested in rugby just check out this news I've had from Dawn Thomas, one of their most experienced and engaging ad reps.
"It’s that time of year again," she smiles ... "and we're producing a 16-page souvenir special to promote this year’s RBS Six Nations. This is very well read every year we produce it."
By way of change, this year's publication will be inserted into a midweek edition South Wales Evening Post rather than being a stand-alone.
The pull-out is due to appear on February 3, with its editorial content profiling Wales’ national game.
Advertising is already proving popular, with 4cm-deep straps inside the pull-out selling at a highly attractive price.
If anybody fancies a hook-up with the Post on this, give me a shout on 07758 745 240 - I guarantee you a great deal.
