I’ve just kicked off the campaign to re-launch of the Lib Dems in Stevenage. The idea is get the Lib Dems back to be a constituency wide party.
We have three councillors in Manor. In the rest of the town we have no councillors, little campaign machinery, sparse canvassing data and almost no money to spend.
So no problem then. It’s a good job I like a challenge.
This is my opening appeal from the Stevenage Lib Dems web site and Members Newsletter.

The “Yes to Fairer Votes” stall we organised in Stevenage Town Centre was featured in The Comet this week. The picture is great, but was taken whilst I was on my lunch break. Now if I were a real politician I would be most upset. So here is a photo proving I was on the stall.

Being part of the government changes everything: not least our conferences. This was our first spring conference as part of the government. On Friday March 11, Julia Davies drove us to Sheffield. After settling into our respective hotels we went to the City Hall to register. Security was tight, similar to boarding an international flight. Once registered we picked up our goodie bags and headed to the exhibition hall. This was worth a visit. Lots of stalls with a wide variety of interests.
We went to the main hall for the evening rally. This was fairly uplifting. Setting the tone for the rest of the conference nicely.
