Speaking at "Crown Inn", Catton, Allendale

Wednesday night: I attended a public meeting at the Crown Inn in Catton, just north of Allendale, where I gave a brief speech touching on why Labour deserve a fourth term and a Q&A session which lasted the best part of an hour and a half. I really enjoy meetings like this -- you get to meet local residents, they get to meet you, and there's enough time to get a real sense of what a candidate is all about -- and wish there were more of them. If anyone reading this blog wishes to organise a similar event, please let me know.
