Our Climate change Poster competition presentation finally happened on Monday evening.  Eleven of our prize winners and their families were able to attend.  It was great to meet them and for them to see the winning poster, too.  I also met and chatted with teachers from Bury Church High School’s Geography department.  It was extra special to meet with them as one, Mr Taylor, had been my Form tutor and teacher when I’d been at the school!  He also taught my sons. 

Our Mayor, Catherine who is our area’s Youth parliament Representative and Lady Mayoress presented certificates and Goodie Bags.  Everybody was so very welcome and also interested in the Council Chamber – it needs to be used more for occasions such as this – to also positively promote local democracy, by visiting and finding a little bit more about the Chamber and what goes on there.  Unfortunately I had to miss our Bury Friends of the Earth meeting on Wednesday evening to evaluate the Poster competition’s outcomes with them, it was Parent’s Evening at work – I was surprised at the number of parents who came to see us especially before an important Footie match. 

Tomorrow is a Lib Dem Leadership hustings – so I need to find my membership card – I haven’t voted yet……I am also disappointed that a Woman hasn’t stood, we could do with somebody distinctly different to the other two party leaders with distinctly brill (as usual) Lib Dem policies to push forward.
