This weekend, Liberal Democrats have been flocking to help Jane Dodds win Brecon and Radnorshire for the Liberal Democrats.

This time next week, I’ll be there. I am so excited because I have never been out of Cardiff before and I’m so looking forward to seeing more of Wales.

Here are just some of the people who have been helping.

Cambridge PPC Rod Cantrill said:

Great to be back again in Brecon with two car loads of activists from Cambridge door knocking for Jane Dodds on the Brecon Ro(a)d trip!

Alex Cole-Hamilton’s wife Gill may well be annoyed that they decided a long time ago to go to Wales for their Summer holiday. Alex made his second trip today and found two more Lib Dem parliamentarians to play with:

So lovely bumping into new @LibDems MEPs @IrinavonWiese and @CarolineVoaden at the #BreconandRadnorshire HQ this morning our before heading out on the campaign trail for @DoddsJane! Great vibe here, momentum with Jane and the @libdems in this vital by-election. Come and see! pic.twitter.com/hRAcoON5XT

And he revealed that he has some family history in the area.

While campaigning in #BreconandRadnorshire we stopped for lunch at the old Rectory Llangattock the building in which my Grandpa was born exactly 100 years ago. Got to stop in on the old boy too. Still miss him x pic.twitter.com/YembFAQWiO

Amid reports of copious supplies of cake, Lib Dem Friends of Biscuits hit back in style:

Everyone is smiling and having fun as well as working hard. Going to a by-election gives you the chance to see the Lib Dem campaigning machine at its best and there’s a great feeling of camaraderie and of the party coming together to win.

If you can go at any point between now and August 1st, please do. Every leaflet delivered, every door knocked on, really matters.
