English Council meeting

7.00.00pm GMT Sun 28th Nov 2004

Yesterday was the second meeting of the Liberal Democrat English Council for 2004. English Council is made up of representatives from all the Regions in England and meets to discuss matters pertaining to the Liberal Democrats in England, I am one of the West Midlands representatives.

The meeting was useful, particularly the confirmation that the West Midlands is the second fastest growing region, in percentage terms, in England (after the East Midlands). We also had a briefing on the General Election and latest polling results which was very informative.

After the meeting I took the opportunity to celebrate my friend Anders Hanson's birthday with a meal and then a few drinks. I also managed to visit my parents today which is something I try to do when in London.
