Erwood Evening Function
In Brecon and Radnorshire, Conservative functions are like London buses, they all come along together and this weekend is no exception as on Monday evening there was an extremely well attended function in Erwood at the home of Yolande and Jeremy Jaquet on the banks of the Rive Wye, with in excess of 100 people there, to hear Jesse Norman, the candidate for Hereford, speak. Jesse is clearly well positioned to win Hereford and is a very effective speaker and clearly has been campaigning hard in Hereford too. Paul Keetch, whom I was sorry to hear is extremely unwell at present, is standing down at the next election in any event, so there will be a change of MP in the seat.
The membership is in good form, very cheerful about the Party’s prospects and very happy with the leadership in Westminster and also with the way things are unfolding in the Assembly - which is good news for us.
The River Wye is in full flood at the moment, moving very quickly and clearly the rains that we have had have swollen the river, but it is a balmy evening and standing on the banks of the river it is extremely pleasant away from the traffic,.
