Yesterday evening Nick and I attended the AGM of Little Waldingfield Conservative Branch. In addition to adopting two candidates for Waldingfield Ward for the Local Government Elections in May, we reviewed the activities of last year and planned our events for 2011.
We are a tiny branch so were pleased to have managed to fulfil our financial ‘quota’ for the Association last year. It seems that we have plenty of supporters who attend our events, even if joining political parties is no longer considered fashionable. Last summer’s Prohibition Evening proved very popular, despite the fact that, according to the Treasurer, the number of bottles of wine that were drunk did not seem to tally with the bar receipts. The dog fight was also a bit unfortunate. We were very lucky with the weather and also with the band which played some appropriately transatlantic music.
Aiming to repeat our success in 2011 we are planning a Spring Quiz on May 21st in the Parish Rooms. In the Autumn we hope to hold a supper with a Suffolk Heritage theme. Tickets for the Quiz are already on sale at £9.50 to include a two course meal, and are likely to sell out fast, so let me know if you are interested in coming.
