Quote of the week

Life isn't about finding yourself, it is about creating yourself'

If you cannot mould yourself entirely as you would wish, how can you expect other people to be entirely to your liking?

Farewell to William

Group Chairman, Graham Newman, pays tribute to William (left in red)
On Saturday many of the County Council Conservative Group met at Ixworth Cricket Club to say goodbye to our political support of 8 year's standing, William Hooper.

William is off to work with the Conservatives at nearby Norfolk, so we are sure to continue to see him.  This is a good thing because he has done a fantastic job while he has been with us.  He has a great talent for cutting through to the nub of tricky arguments and clarifying the collective mind in meetings.  He also really understands what it means to be a Conservative, and is good at keeping policy discussion on the straight and narrow.

He is not just a political geek however.  William is really knowledgeable about all sorts of subjects, and is a great musician and stage performer.  He can sit down at the piano and produce a very entertaining hour or so of songs, all amusing and all composed by himself!

William has been a great friend and support to me while I have been at the County Council, and I will miss him a great deal.

Cllr. Patricia O Brien and her husband James admire our gift to William.
