What’s coming up at conference? Potatoes and politics on
15th September

Potatoes and politics. Almost as good a combination as choco

late and constitutions. But potatoes and politics it is on
15th September when I’m heading over to Putney Library to talk about what’s
coming up on the Liberal Democrat autumn conference agenda.

With issues such as Lords reform, drugs decriminalisation
and ending the gay blood donor ban on the agenda there will be plenty to debate
at conference. In addition to giving an overview of the likely main
controversies I’ll also be highlighting some of the less headline-catching but
important ways in which people at conference will be able to influence the way
the party is run and what ministers do in government.

So I hope you can come to the event, the details of which
are:

15 September, 7:00pm –
10:00pm

Putney Library

5-7 Disraeli Road

Putney, SW15 2DR

Tickets cost £15 per person and include supper and
drinks. Please contact Lisa Smart (lisa@lisasmart.org.uk) if you
