With party membership heading towards 90,000 it is also pleasing to hear that ALDC has recruited over 3,000 members. ALDC – originally the Association of Liberal Democrat Councillors – is open to Lib Dems aspiring to be local councillors and well as those already elected, so now bills itself as the Association of Liberal Democrat Councillors and Campaigners.
ALDC provides comprehensive advice on campaigning in local elections, including its excellent, and intensive, Kickstart weekends.
On 6th April Susan Morgan won a by-election at Aylesbury Vale District Council with a massive 38% swing from UKIP. She is now being celebrated as ALDC’s 3000th member. She said:
I’m really pleased to have joined ALDC and to be their 3,000th member is a nice touch.
My successful campaign to win last week’s by-election couldn’t have been achieved without the support of my campaign manager, Cllr Steven Lambert. His knowledge and experience picked up over almost 10 years of being an ALDC member, not to mention the templates and advice that he had access to through his membership, were key to me winning. I’d recommend other community campaigners, whether you want to be a councillor or not, should follow suit and join ALDC too.
So we make no apologies for endorsing the plug, and encouraging you to join ALDC.
