Now that flowers are blooming and the weather is warming up, it is time for our Super Spring Raffle! 

We have a bumper basket full of gorgeous gifts for the lucky winner of our raffle. 

Some of the lovely gifts in our basket include champagne, a magnum of white wine and delicious chocolates. Not to mention the set of super-fashionable chocolate Labubu cake toppers! 

Tickets are only £10 - buying a ticket gives you a great chance of winning our fantastic basket of goodies worth well over £100!

We are now fundraising ready to defend this constituency at the next General Election.

We know that the Conservatives are desperate to win Chesham & Amersham back. And Reform are gearing up to challenge us too.  So we need to get campaigning right now to support our brilliant, hardworking MP Sarah Green. We also need to support our wonderful team of councillors and activists, and campaign across the seat. 

Together we are gearing up for activity in towns and villages right across the seat - just in case there is yet another snap General Election.

Thanks to our fantastic team of volunteers, and our new staff member Lizzie, our Chesham Office is now open six mornings a week. Having the office has really put us on the map. 

All this activity, the office and a paid staff member costs money. So we would love you to support our campaign to win Chesham & Amersham again by buying a raffle ticket or two. 

You might just be the lucky winner of the fabulous basket of gifts worth over £100, when the raffle closes on May 22nd 2026!

As part of their commitment to listening to and working with local residents, Peter Gane, Jon Renshaw and Roger West, Lib Dem Town Councillors for Cheriton West, hold regular drop-in advice surgeries in the ward each month.

No need for an appointment - just turn up to discuss any issue you would like our help with. If you'd prefer to speak to Peter Jon or Roger one-to-one then please contact them directly and we can set up a personal meeting with you.

The surgeries are held:

• The second Saturday of each month from 11am-12pm in All Souls Church Hall, Somerset Road, Folkestone CT19 4HE

Alternatively, contact Peter Jon or Roger directly by email or phone. If you call and don't get through, please do leave a message and we'll call you back!

Wokingham Borough Liberal Democrats are pleased to invite you to our 2026 Local Elections Thank You Party. 

After a hard-fought local election campaign we want to celebrate the hard work and dedication from our amazing candidates, members and volunteers - and so what better way to do it than to host you all for a get-together on Saturday 9th May.

Special thanks to Wokingham's MP Clive Jones, who will be hosting us. Tickets to this event are free, but please feel free to offer a donation towards food and drink and help rebuild our campaign fighting fund.  

We're looking forward to seeing everyone!

Come and celebrate or commiserate with us, or just meet up with old new friends over a drink in this post-election event. 

As well as a cash bar, there will also be a finger buffet. 

The Club is just off Gosforth High Street and plenty of buses run along there and there is also parking nearby.

Further details nearer the date, however to give us an idea of the number of sausage or veggie roll we need to order, please book and let us know how many people will be coming.

Everyone is welcome: members, their families, partners, plus ones etc.

If you are vegetarian, vegan or have any other dietary requirements or allergies, please let Doreen Huddart know. 

Around 5,000 seats across 136 local councils are up for grabs on Thursday 7th May.

What will the results mean for the country, and specifically for us in Bath & North East Somerset as we switch into top gear for our elections in 2027?  How do we respond and adapt to an increasingly fragmented 5-party political system? 

 Get the inside track on the outcomes and how to interpret them at our confidential briefing with our local data guru Cllr George Tomlin, who in addition to being one of our wonderful local councillors (Kingsmead ward), is also a national campaign manager for the party, and has been working on campaigns across the country.

 We’ve been fortunate to get a private room at The Cork, Westgate Buildings, Bath BA1 1EB. Cash and Card bar. Come along for a vital briefing and discussion in good company. See you there!

When: Saturday 9th May, 7.00pm to 10.0pm

Where: The Leatherhead Institute

Cost: NOTHING!

AN INVITATION... Please come...

...and celebrate together our great victory in the Unitary Elections!

Or...

In the extremely unlikely event of it being something of a 'wake', we’ll still need to celebrate the life-affirming effort we’ve all put into the campaign.

Join us to reflect on our 2026 local election campaign.

Please come along and meet with campaigners in other wards and help celebrate the election result. 

The event is free of charge, but please bring food and drink.

"It's not all about Politics!"

We are usually at Table 5, so order and pay at the bar for your drinks and food (if you are eating) and then join us, on the 2nd Monday of each month from 18:30 until 21:00 at The Orchard pub in Archer's Gate, SP4 7XT when some of our councillors - not just the Lib Dems - get together with whoever turns up for informal chat.  The conversation is organic and it goes where it flows, but we're just like-minded people getting together over a drink or two.

We also have a fundraising raffle - one prize, so winner takes all!

Come and join us!
