I like to take a camera when I am out canvassing, and took this photo last week. I think it is just crying out for a decent caption. Any suggestions?

Canvassing in Ifield West
March 11th, 2006 · Comments Off on Canvassing in Ifield West · Politics
This morning we went across to Ifield West to do some canvassing. Unfortunately the candidate for that area is currently the deputy mayor and was down in the town centre promoting Fair Trade Fortnight, but one of his colleagues was out with us. All together there were eight of us out there, and it was […]

Too cold to canvass?
January 29th, 2006 · Comments Off on Too cold to canvass? · Politics
Is it too cold to canvass? Thats how it turned out yesterday. I begrudged the tiny amount of time I had to spend at the front door paying the milkman, so I can imagine voters not being too keen on standing at their front door, letting all the heat out, to chat about their political […]

Back to basics
January 14th, 2006 · Comments Off on Back to basics · Politics
During this week Jayne & I have both been quite disenchanted by local politics and the Crawley Labour party to the point of considering whether to stop bothering to be involved. This morning we went out canvassing in Broadfield, and feel a whole lot better about it. Maybe it was just the fresh air and […]

Delivering for Labour
November 20th, 2005 · Comments Off on Delivering for Labour · Politics
This morning Jayne and I dragged the kids out so they could bond with us while we delivered Labour newsletters. Also so they could deal with any houses which looked like they might contain vicious dogs It may have been a frosty morning but it was extremely bright, as the glare in all these pictures […]
Phew! What a scorcher!
November 5th, 2005 · Comments Off on Phew! What a scorcher! · Politics
After a week of cold, rainy, miserable days I made sure I was prepared for delivering Labour newsletters today by wearing warm tracksuit bottoms and a thick ‘hoodie’. So of course it was a glorious warm morning and I ended up a sweaty heap after walking round half of Langley Green. The intention was to […]
New members

All those new Labour party members we managed to recruit over the summer are starting to appear now (take note chickenlittle – it does happen!). When we were out canvassing in Langley Green on Saturday a new member from Maidenbower turned up, and another new member came to our branch meeting tonight, and I hope […]

Wensleydale
October 8th, 2005 · Comments Off on Wensleydale · Life
No, not another Wallace & Gromit reference. Wensleydale is one of my favourite little corners of Crawley. Before the town was build there was a lot of forest around here, and when clearing the land for building, parts were left behind. Although there are other places where a few large mature trees were left to […]
Canvassing in the Courts
September 24th, 2005 · Comments Off on Canvassing in the Courts · Politics
This morning we were out doing voter ID in the area of Broadfield known as ‘the Courts’. Its a large council-built estate in the 70’s style of having entirely pedestrian areas in front of all the houses with parking areas and garages behind. It gets its name from the fact that, apart from the odd […]

New members?

After quite a few sessions of leafletting and canvassing in different parts of town this summer, we finally got round to some door-knocking in Broadfield itself. There were five of us, not a bad turnout really. Jim McGough, our newly-elected county councillor was there, Brian Quinn, one of our borough councillors from the other half […]
