A young Labour Party member in the North West, Sam Dent, has organised a debate and band night at teh Citadel Theatre in St Helens, Merseyside. Details are below.
 
But I have to say this is exactly the sort of thing the Party needs if it is to have a future. We need to be fun and we need to have a thriving grassroots that actually does things outside of delivering leaflets.
 
Sam is only 17, please support this event if you can. If you can't then leave a comment below encourage him to keep up the good work.

On Tuesday 10 June at 6.30 Alan Mumford will be presenting a history of the Labour Party in cartoons.

Neil Kinnock will host the event, which will take place in Committee Room 2 in Parliament. Friends welcome.

Please contact Caroline Badley the Regional Communications Officer of West Midlands Labour on 0121 569 1900 for further information. Update [2007-1-29 14:15:42 by alexhilton]: I understand the Tories have tabled an opposition day debate on the date of this event on DfID matters so I believe Hilary won't be able to make this event after all. I'll post more details as I hear them. Alex

Is our examination system adequately preparing young people for their future? Debate all these questions and more at Progress's forthcoming seminar.
