Today was spent in Spennymoor, enjoying the delights of North East Lib Dems regional conference. There were 13 members from Gateshead, the biggest of any local party. (See photo above.) My thanks to Ron Beadle, Lib Dem Leader of the Opposition in Gateshead who gave a speech about why members should come to Gateshead to help us make gains in the local elections next year. Ron reminded the audience that I have done nearly 39 years on the council. But we also have a team of young members keen to get elected.
In the afternoon, Ed Davey was the guest speaker. I was there with a roving camera, as usual. As you can see, Ed joined the Gateshead members for a photo call. So, a good time was had by all.
