Conference call
Tuesday, July 22, 2008 This year's party conference season is going to be our busiest yet. It certainly seems that way because we have spent the past few days desperately trying to meet deadlines for venues, listings, advertisements and artwork. There's also the small matter of confirming speakers - which isn't easy when everyone is about to go on holiday. And now, for the first time, the police have asked us to answer questions about our events. If we can reach the end of the month without a major hiccup, I'll breathe a little easier.
The Freedom Zone (September 29-30) is a new initiative and our most ambitious conference event ever. Organised in conjunction with The Freedom Association, it's a two-day mini-conference designed to put individual freedom at the top of the political agenda. We're launching it at the Conservative conference in Birmingham but I hope that it will eventually make an appearance at other party conferences too.
We are also presenting (for the first time ever) a fringe event at the LibDem conference. This year's conference is in Bournemouth (my favourite seaside venue) and we are linking up with the new liberal think-tank Progressive Vision to host a discussion entitled "How liberal are the Liberal Democrats?" The event, at the prestigious Highcliff Hotel, is on Tuesday September 16. Details, including speakers, will be announced nearer the time.
We are still working on plans for the Labour conference in Manchester, but - please note - we need volunteers to promote our campaigns at all three party conferences. If you would like to help please get in touch.

So Simon, you have now been questioned by the police. I hope that they did not search you for any of those dangerous weapons that millions of us carry about.
I would like to know how liberal the Liberals think they are.
Simon
I've reached the point of no return - it's time to get involved, btu who with? The Freedom Association or Libertas? I'd welcome your opinion.
Best regards...

Does the term "volunteer" mean "unpaid" Simon?
I am based in London, so if you need any "volunteers" at Boisdale any time, you can count on me.(paid or unpaid)
