Here comes the summer!
STAFF from the Scarlets are showing that rugby means summer fun too - by attending fairs all over West Wales.
The sunshine months will see staff take the famous Scarlets Roadshow caravan to communities across Carmarthenshire, Pembrokeshire, Ceredigion and Powys.
Retail manager Victoria Anderson said: "We can't wait to get out and about in the community. There's already a lot of excitement about the new season, with our British Lions Stephen Jones and Matthew Rees due to return after their tour to hook up with our new Wales caps Jonathan Davies and Daniel Evans.
“We've also got some great new signings such as Scotland wing Sean Lamont, Wales prop Rhys Thomas and Wales Sevens world cup winner Richie Pugh."
The Scarlets caravan will feature merchandise such as summer clothes for men, women and children, great back-to-school items and gifts such as mugs, wallets, hip flasks and cuddly toys.
There’s also the chance to learn about the new season’s great season ticket deals. Supporters have given the thumbs up to the new reduced price season ticket proposal with up to 95% of existing season ticket holders renewing and taking full advantage of the great loyalty and early bird discounts available to them.
Sales are now open to all new season ticket holders with the ticket office in the Castell Howell South Stand at Parc y Scarlets open 9am-5pm Mon-Fri and 9am-Noon on Saturdays.
All unsold seats in the stadium are now available on general release. With adult stand prices starting from only £90.

Summer sale now on!
Staff at the Scarlets shop have launched their big summer sale - with some items at half price! The store, at Parc y Scarlets, has been a massive hit since it opened in November, doubling up as the Region's fabulous museum.
Now staff are sending supporters away for their summer breaks with some great cut-price deals.
Scarlets retail manager Victoria Anderson said: "The fans were great to us all season. They were very understanding when the shop was going through the big move from Stradey Park and have supported us brilliantly since we opened at the new stadium. The response we've had to the new store has been fantastic."
The summer sale started on June 6 and features up to 50% off some items and will include coats, jerseys, T-shirts, shorts, socks and key elements of the Stradey Park retro range. Victoria said: "All sale items are being offered on a first come first served basis - I can't reserve items and I urge supporters to buy items before they have gone."
Through the summer the shop will be open Mon-Sat 9.30am-5pm and Sun 9am-2pm.
