George Conghie, Nigel Long, Pete Marland and his partner Ellie and a chap who is the Manager of the Co-Op store on Fishermead and another chap whose name I did not know were in attendance.
The main topic of conversation was support for the Labour candidates in the General and local Council elections.
A verbal report was given on the regional meeting at Slough Town Hall which concentrated on procedural matters, the local Labour MP Fiona McTaggart made a speech and Officers were also elected, also Trade Unionists and Labour Party members were also in attendance.
There then followed a good natured debate on the motions to be taken forward to the party conference which were as follows:
- To encourage all sponsored Labour Party candidates to include on all publicity materials the fact that they are Labour and Co-operative candidates
- To also encourage more co-operatives to be set up in the social care sector
The one other motion that was not pursued as it was too general and did not link in with the Co-operative movement activities was to condemn rogue traders who rip off the consumer.
The meeting finished at 9:00pm and the lovely Mrs Billups came in to lock up after us.
