I attended my first Milton Keynes Labour Party Executive Committee Meeting on Thursday 18th February 2010 (since being appointed at the annual meeting of the party) 7:30pm at the Labour Hall, Newport Road, New Bradwell.
It was very well attended and again a good atmosphere and very business like.
Cllr Kevin Wilson and Pete Marland as Election Agents went through the logistics of the next General Election and showed mock up election addresses and a leaflet for Dr Phyllis Starkey MP (which incidentially I am featured in a photograph in a group chatting to Phyllis.)
Finances as always remain differcult but it appears that Nicky Gavron (Former London Deputy Mayor to Ken Livingstone) has come to the resue to help finance Andrew Pakes's campaign.
The meeting agreed on myself to be the candidate in the 2010 local Council elections for Newport Pagnall North and Cllr Martin Petchey for Newport Pagnall North as Andrew Pakes had drawn a blank in obtaining local party members to fill the slots.
Discussions also centred on how to address the running of the Labour Hall in the Event of both seats being lost in the General Election it was agreed that a Finance Sub Group be formed to write a paper on any options available Cllr Camilla Turnball is to chair the group.
The Executive Committee will be meeting any how after the General Election to discuss the lie of the land.
Cllr Norman Miles (Leader of the Labour Group) addressed the meeting on the activities of the group and recent meetings with the leaders of the Liberal Democrat Group.
The meeting ended at 9:00pm and I managed to drive home before the snow later on.
