This morning, party members registered on our members’ forum were sent an email giving them a link to vote on the shortlists for our Awards, due to be presented in Glasgow on Saturday night.
Before I go any further, I want to say a massive thank you to Mary Reid for doing most of the work on this year’s event while I was distracted with some little thing going on here in Scotland. Also thanks to Stephen Tall and Ryan Cullen for doing the technical stuff.

Where are the AM and MSP of the year?
The Lib Dem Parliamentarians stuff is on the survey that went to members I think.
A very sincere Thank You to whoever nominated me for Councillor of the Year 🙂
I’d better start knocking up!
Sorry I will not be with you tonight. I had already agreed to go on a speaking tour in Japan for the Japanese LGA before the Conference date got hanged. However I express a personal opinion that Cllr. Erica Kemp is by far the best looking of the three picture entrants.!!!!!!!! Thanks to whoever nominated me for the two categories. Being nominated for anpything to do with social media when everyone knows I am an old git who suffers from technophobia is amazing!
