The office is open every Wednesday morning for coffee, biscuits and even cake.

Just pop in and say hello if you're in town.

A regular meet-up on the second Wednesday of every month for Liberal Democrat members, supporters and the Lib Dem curious in the Folkestone and Hythe area!

Simply come along for a social drink and a chat: no speeches, no leaflet delivery. It's a "buy your own" event (sorry!) but come along and say hello to our Councillors, campaigners, members and friends.

The Royal Norfolk Hotel is on Sandgate High Street - there is free parking from 6pm at Castle Road Car Park in Sandgate which is one minute walk away and often on street parking in Castle Road (behind the hotel) as well.

This Autumn sees a wide variety of training on offer - come along to this session to find out more.

We're at a pivot point. With another new PM in Downing Street, and an ever more uncertain world, the choices the party makes at this moment could make all the difference in the years to come.

That's why we're asking you to join us for a special Beveridge Club - where the real guest speaker is all of you!

With one of the party's most important Autumn Conferences in recent years coming up - we're gathering together to highlight and debate some of the controversial policy motions coming down the track.

We have selected four motions from the conference agenda to debate here in Sutton.  The full conference agenda is here https://www.libdems.org.uk/a26-agenda  The full text of each motion is included in the agenda. As many of the motions are quite long, you may wish to read them in advance of the meeting. 

Judy Walsh will be chairing the evening to debate:

• Supporting people to age well (page 82 of the agenda) - ageing affects us all, irrespective of our own demographic.  With the number of people aged over 85 set to double by 2045, what should our response be to the challenge of frailty and ageing?
• Tackling illegal e-bikes and dangerous riding (p 98) - we support more active cycling, but is more regulation needed?
• Feeding Britain: a food security emergency (p 100) - the drought is only one of a number of factors affecting the food chain.  What should be done to make Britain more self-sufficient?
• Turning electoral breakthrough into Lasting Liberal Strength (p 63) - do you agree with the results of the party's strategic review, and what needs to be done to develop a clear, compelling national narrative?

For each there will be a brief summary highlighting particularly any controversial points before opening it to the floor for discussion.

If you have particular knowledge and experience in any of these areas and would be interested in leading the discussion with one of us, please do let us know. 

Come along even (perhaps especially!) if you're not going to Brighton for conference this year, to make sure you have your say on the issues up for debate.

Tickets are free as usual (though the venue would appreciate us buying drinks at the bar - non alcoholic available) - but please book below!

In the run up to Federal Conference we will pick two motions and discuss them as well as considering any amendments.

It will be an informal, workshop style event

This is for every member of the Liberal Democrats in Hereford. You do not need to be going to Federal Conference to attend.

Tea and coffee will be provided. Donations welcome.

We'll be in the River Room which is on the ground floor of the Pavilion
