Blogging from conference 2006
Hello all my name is Dr Rav Seeruthun and I am the delegate from Maidstone Weald CLP to conference. I will try and sporadically blog from conference events as they happen but this is unfortunately dependent on Internet connections!
Have arrived unfortunately to find that all my paperwork has been lost so do not have a pass into the "restricted zone". Have been assured though that will have one by 1200 tomorrow so will be able to vote on the resolutions.
As a member of West branch am keen to see if we can get a housing resolution into one of the four to be debated.
Arrived during the anti-war march and the atmosphere was really friendly considering I had to walk through it with my suitcase! Good to see people exercising their democratic rights.
Have got details of the fringe events and there are huge numbers of them! Am going to meet up with bloggers4labour on Tuesday evening and am keen to go to as much as I can, hopefully will get into see Gordon Brown tomorrow speaking on meeting the Millennium development goals - delivering public services:health and education for all, and it's sponsored by Oxfam and UNISON. Morel also kindly got me an invite to a climate change event with Mark Watts late on Tuesday.
Am keen also to hear Shami Chakrabati Director of Liberty speak on human rights, and Ed Milliband seems to be at virtually every speaking event and would be keen to here his opinions. Dominique Walker the sister of Anthony Walker is also speaking on a debate about anti-racist policies that I would like to attend.
So roll on the events and thanks to all at the CLP for nominating me to attend after Morel could not attend.
