A meeting with the Ancient Order of Foresters, as Diana and the girls det off for Cambridge and then involved with local politics with John Brown this afternoon and the Village Hall AGM in the evening, introducing my replacement LibDem candidate John Brown.
Diana took the girls to Cambridge to meet their Grandma and Grandad this morning and Diana was rather hoping that Daniel and I would do the same; but we had an appointment with the representative of the Ancient Order of Foresters. We heard all about the order and then briefed him about our affairs before signing up as members of the Garibaldi Court and making out tax-exempt investments. Daniel then off to Cambridge to see his friend Gary and I settled down to some paperwork and to make my own lunch of smoked salmon salad. I had put a few pounds weight back on these last few days, which is a pity.

Some time with local politics this afternoon as I advised John Brown and colleagues on local election tactics and produced the poster designs. Updated my action list and then updated these last few days journal before this evening's meeting of the Village Hall AGM. There were a half dozen canvassers meeting at The Hayling View to start the Paxton canvas this evening but I was only able to see them come and go, leaving them in the hands of John Brown. I collected him later and took him to the meeting, introducing him to members of the Village Hall Committee. The meeting was quite a good one with the single exemption of their not being a new Secretary coming forward to replace Barry Young who is retiring. I got them to agree to approach at least two people personally about agreeing the job.
