Election Planning in Hereford

Paul Keetch, Liberal Democrat MP for Hereford

Today Sue Simmonds and I trained an Election Planning Workshop in Hereford. Hereford, is of course, held by Paul Keetch MP, who I helped in both the 1997 and 2001 elections.

The session was not completely about training as the Hereford General Election has largely been planned, it was partly about having the plan agreed and endorsed by more activists. There were a number of activists present and some with less experience than others so there was still ample room for training. The day went very well with both Paul and his campaign organiser - Chris Wiggin saying the day was useful.

Afterwards I met up with Claire and William Keetch, Paul's wife and son. I have know Claire since about 1995 and William since he was born! It is always very good to combine the training I do with seeing old friends.
