Mopping up

 

Today was a mopping up day! In other words, all those streets that somehow got missed off the delivery patches were delivered today in Marley Hill and Sunniside. Tomorrow I have 2 patches of letters to deliver in Whickham. And once they are out of the way, I start work on our next Focus newsletter.

Back in Bridges for another action day

 

We had a good turnout for the Gateshead Lib Dem action day on Sunday. And yet again, it was held in Bridges ward. The final headcount of helpers was 15. The aim of the day was to deliver as many of the letters we had produced for the ward as possible - we shifted half of them (we started the day with 2000). A bit of mopping up also ensured the remaining Focus newsletters were delivered as well.

Lunch in Tesco cafe afterwards.

Sunniside street surgery photo

 

This photo of our street surgery in Sunniside on Saturday arrived a bit too late for inclusion in an earlier post but here it is now, in all its splendour! Our next surgery is Saturday 28th March 2026 at Whickham Library.

Conference agenda has arrived

Last week, the agenda for Lib Dem spring conference arrived. Conference is again being held in York, a favourite for the March gathering. Back in 2012 it was held at the Sage, Gateshead, which made attendance much easier. York however is only an hour on the train. I've had a quick look through the agenda. Most of what interests me is the training and there are plenty of sessions from which to choose. Fringe meetings are another favourite of mine. If I have time, I will also attend some of the debates in the main conference hall. What I need to do however is spend some time going through the agenda in detail. I've got 2 weeks to get that sorted.
