EARS Training and campaigning in West Worcestershire

3.00.00pm BST (GMT +0100) Sat 9th Oct 2004

Last night Dave Radcliffe and I trained on EARS for the West Worcestershire local party. Most of those present had not used the latest version of EARS before so we looked at why and how we collect data and then how to use EARS to its maximum potential.

We stayed overnight and lent a hand this morning helping out in their campaign. West Worcestershire is one of the top Liberal Democrat targets with a small swing needed from the Conservatives to win in the General Election. They also have a local council by-election on 21 October, which they have a good chance of gaining.
