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!



Canvassing in Llandysul

A busy day on Saturday canvassing in Llandysul.    Lots of conversations with the voters about the matters that mean the most to them and how I can help if elected to the assembly in May.  My three main campaign issues are Health, Education and the Local Economy and they certainly resonated with the voters in Llandysul. Mark Williams MP and the canvassing team were all there to help give out our newsletters and speak to the voters.   Plenty to work on in the forthcoming weeks and months. 

Im really pleased that this blog has had over 500 hits (and counting), which means that people are taking an interest in the campaign and starting to think about the election.   Please join me and support my campaign; there are plenty of ways to help (see previous posts below).  

On a personal note; I haven't had time to go to my Aberaeron slimming world group, which is really naughty of me. They won't be pleased to see me eating a delicious ice cream as a treat! Bizarrely it was really cold and started to snow; but the ice cream still tasted great!  Canvassing is a great way of upping my step count and keeping fit so maybe its not all bad :)

   

Fundraising

You might have seen my earlier blog about the reasons for fundraising and the time has come to launch the fundraising page - here it is- www.crowdfunder.co.uk/liz4ceredigion

I've also decided to do a few short videos during the campaign, whilst out and about for everyone to see what campaigning is like in Ceredigion:  my You Tube Channel can be found here: You Tube

Just for fun; I've also got a 'bloopers' video as it took me a while to warm up for the camera and there were quite a few out-takes!!  :)  Bloopers Video

The official launch of my campaign is coming up soon (more news about that later!!); so my team and I are busy preparing for that at the moment. Hope to see you soon!
