Once again, we must delay our drinks to accommodate a polling day.   On the 3rd July I will be heading to Fulham in the evening - to help the late shift get the vote out.  Will you join me?   

Burt never fear, we will be at the Jack Horner a week later than usual.  Hopefully see lots of you there - both new and regular faces!

As always, whether you can make it or not - you can donate the cost of a pint to the London party using the second ticket option below.

London's Motivate Day is run for us by ALDC and is designed to help teams develop and win new wards. It builds on ALDC's book 'Pick a ward and win it'.

Early campaigning is a proven tool in winning and this day will encourage your team to start early, maximising your chance to win in 2026. 

It is ideal for smaller local parties and for those with less experience in campaigning, but will also benefit those wish to develop their techniques and to improve their campaigning.

Motivate Days sit alongside the Kickstart weekends, which allow greater in depth training and mentoring. Attending a Motivate day is a good introduction for those going onto a Kickstart weekend.  Kicksteart weekends are in June and November
