Appeal for funds for upcoming campaigns
Over the next few months, we will be ramping up our efforts to get as many Lib Dems as possible elected on Huntingdon District Council in the May 2022 elections.
If it goes well, it might be possible to follow what has happened in the May 2021 County elections, and end the Tory dominance that has lasted uninterrupted since 1974. It is time for a change!
All the money we can raise locally will go towards leaflets, posters, Facebook ads and other local activities. Please give generously via Nic Wells, our Treasurer by contacting him at [email protected]
AGM 2021
We will be holding our AGM by Microsoft Teams on 29th November and will send out details shortly.
We would very much hope to refresh the Executive with some “new blood”.
If you are interested in finding out more about joining the Exec, please do get in touch with Graham Wilson at [email protected].
We particularly need a secretary to send out agendas and take notes of meetings.
