North West Regional Meetup 3 July

Following the very successful Carnforth meetup, the next regional meetup is going to be in Manchester, at the Kro2 Bar on Oxford Road (near the university buildings and next to the Mancunian Way) on Saturday 3 July, starting about 1.00pm. As usual, interested non-Party members are welcome to attend. The format will be informal, although subjects for discussion are likely to include recruiting prospective candidates for next year's local elections, finding ways to attract new members and suggestions for future activities.

The Next Two North West Meetups

The next informal meetup of the Libertarian Party will be held in the Kro2 Bar on Oxford Road, Manchester, starting around 1.00pm on Saturday 23rd January. This is not just for party members, anyone interested in finding out more about us is more than welcome to come, it's very informal. We usually grab a table close to the entrance and in front of the bar (saves walking), so you should find us quite easily. Watch out for the scruffy geezer wearing a green combat jacket and carring a document wallet with a Libertarian Party poster taped to the front - that'll be me.

The following Sunday 31st January, we'll be meeting up again at our other regular watering hole, the Royal Station Hotel in Carnforth, Lancashire. We usually start about 12.30pm in the Lounge Bar (don't worry about missing lunch, the pub does good food - although those Station Burgers definitely aren't helping me lose weight).

With the elections coming up in May, subjects of conversation are likely to include how best to prepare ourselves for our first electoral challenge in the region, how we can develop the North West branch more effectively and the possiblity of organising some leafletting days.

Also it's possible that we'll be doing some drinking.

North West Libertarians: Upcoming Meetups

The North West branch of the Libertarian Party has been holding a series of informal meetups in Carnforth and Manchester. Normally these are every month, but the schedule's had to be re-arranges slightly due to having to fit them round the upcoming AGM in Bristol, and also the fact that Christmas will soon be on us. The dates for the next two meetups have now been set:

On Saturday 21st November, there will be a meetup at the Kro 2 Bar, Oxford Road, Manchester, starting about 1.00pm. This is an easy pub to find, there are always tables available and the food's inexpensive if you want to eat. We normally grab a table near the bar, so we should be easy to spot. If you're coming by car, I recommend parking up in the multi-story car park on Charles Street, which is only a short walk away, and is very cheap at weekends.

On Sunday 13th December, there will be another meetup in the Lounge Bar of the Royal Station Hotel in Carnforth, starting about 12.30pm. This is just across the road from the famous railway station which was used as a location for the film "Brief Encounter". This is a nice bar that does decent food - the Station Burgers are both reasonably priced and very filling. It's also intended that this meetup should serve as the Christmas get-together for Libertarians in the region, as the next meetup's likely to be in January.

Both of these meetups are open to anyone if you'd like to come along, talk about libertarianism and see if we're the sort of party that you'd like to support.
