Tag Archives: 2o24 autumn conference

I’ve had enough of nonference (again)

In mid January FCC members were asked to attend an additional meeting, entitled ‘Autumn Conference 2024 – strategy’.

We had a presentation from HQ and followed by a lengthy discussion about merits or otherwise or cancelling autumn conference. I won’t rehearse all the arguments, but in my nine years as a party member I’ve not left a meeting quite so frustrated. It was reminiscent of council officers telling me at budget time that the sky would fall in if we didn’t make savings in a particular area. The sky did not fall in.
