At their AGM in Dundee recently, Liberal Youth Scotland gave me the gift of eternal youth. Seriously. They actually changed their constitution to make me their first honorary life member. I always said they were a lovely bunch of people.
I was also their Returning Officer in their annual elections, which ended yesterday. Their team for the year ahead, taking office next month, are as follows:
President: Jenny Marr and David Green
VP Communications: Daniel O’Malley
VP Campaigns: Joe Setch
Membership Secretary: Eilidh Dickson, she of the famous Puppet Show Incident
Executive Members: Bobbi White and Emma Berglund
Liberal Youth Scotland are a fantastic inspiration and example for the whole party. They brought the motion on equal marriage to our conference, and ran a fantastic campaign on the issue. David Green has done some excellent work on looking after, recruiting and keeping our members. At our recent Conference, they made powerful contributions to many debates speaking on such diverse subjects as secret courts, mental health and the crazily complex system of train fares. It’s great to have such a vibrant and intelligent group of people.
