The City of Newport Business Club is pleased to announce Wales’ most famous and best loved weather man Derek Brockway as their guest speaker at the forthcoming business dinner to be held on Thursday February 5, 2015, at The Holiday Inn, The Coldra, Newport starting at 5.30pm.

Brought up in Barry, Derek joined BBC Wales Today in 1997 where he has been the lead weather forecaster for more than 13 years. As well as broadcasting the lunchtime, evening and late TV weather forecast, he also presents regular weather bulletins on BBC Radio Wales.

A keen walker, Derek has also had five series on BBC Radio Wales entitled 'Weatherman Walking' before the programme was converted into a popular television series shown on BBC One Wales. His knowledge and fascination with the weather coupled with his walking experiences will make for an unforgettable talk.

Janine Dance, chairman of Newport City Business Club, said: "We are extremely thrilled to have secured Derek to be our guest speaker at the February meeting. I am sure our guests will be well and truly entertained by this exceptionally talented and friendly TV personality.”
