Campaign Launch Weekend

We've had a productive few days; the campaign was officially launched at an event in Llanfarian.   A great event (don't forget you can still support the campaign financially via the crowd funding page here: L4C). I had been out with the team in Penparcau all morning on Saturday and we got drenched (as you can see from the photos!) but we treated ourselves to lunch at the farmers market in Aberystwyth (I don't know if my slimming world group will ever take me back!; but the lunch was yummy)..... Running for election really is an 'extreme sport' and really does keep you on your toes; from canvassing and meeting people on the doorstep to going on TV, last week had it all.  I was invited onto the Welsh debate programme Pawb a'i Farn for the first time on Thursday.  I really enjoyed it and it did get a little bit heated on occasions!!! (do watch it on 'clic' on S4C if you get a chance to catch up).    Iolo Corgi was home with Graeme and was completely spoilt as I was not home to oversee the doggy treat rations!

Rain! Glaw!



Aberystwyth University / Prifysgol Aberystwyth

I've spent the afternoon with Aberystwyth University students at their 'refreshers fair'.   It was a really vibrant and busy event on campus. It was great to spend time with the students discussing the issues that they think are important for the Assembly elections in May.   I also collected some more signatures for our mental health petition and I made a little video too Elizabeth Evans You Tube Channel.  Home now to walk Iolo Corgi who will be looking forward to a long walk tonight.   

Speaking to voters in Aberystwyth. Bore Da Aberystwyth

Kicked off the campaign in Aberystwyth with the whole gang: Mark Williams, Kirsty Williams, William Powell and Norman Lamb. Not forgetting the enthusiastic efforts of Liberal Youth! (I'm the one in the middle, by the way). A really early start for me as Iolo corgi insisted on his early morning walk before I left the house!     Lots of hot topics being discussed with the voters and reminding them that the Welsh Assembly elections will be happening in April 2016..... the countdown begins.

A welcome visit to Hospice at Home Aberystwyth Volunteers shop in Pier Street Aberystwyth.  Some  fantastic work happening here; raising money for a great cause. 

Preparing and planning

Ive spent a busy day in Aberaeron with Mam and Iolo (my lovely corgi) planning the election campaign (tea in the sunshine is always a good start).
