I’ve long said that ALDC (the Association of Lib Dem Councillors and Campaigners) is pretty much essential for anyone involved in Liberal Democrat campaigns. Of course, I would say that, because I’ve been a member of the organisation for a long time. But even with that interest declared, I’m sure most people would agree that they have loads of practical advice and campaign ideas and will be a vital part of ensuring that activists have the skills to fight future campaigns.
Today the Autumn edition of their Local Campaigner magazine arrived with members. It’s full of really interesting articles including:
- How to welcome new members to the party, by Neil Fawcett
- Engaging the community in developing a neighbourhood plan
- Tips to make door-knocking enjoyable and productive, with high-quality contacts that are more than about voter ID
- How we won a double by-election in Surrey
- A commentary on the Calais crisis by Tim Pickstone, ALDC’s Chief Executive.
