I don’t quite get what it’s all about either. I don’t know if they just let any old knobhead walk in, or if you have to book a place, how to go about attending fringe meetings, etc. etc. Perhaps I’ll never find out

Just received some news that may mean I can’t go anyway. More later.

I don’t really know what Party Political conferences are about – I’ve never been particularly interested, to be honest. I quite like the idea of a bunch of bloggers on a stage, though – sounds like something mildly interesting.

I’ve got a blog post brewing about why I think the next decade should see the end of political canvassing, but I’m absolutely cream crackered and a bit busy for writing long, thoughtful posts at the moment. Grrr.

I have no opinion on Conference/Assembly/Congregation… Words are our slaves and we are their masters. Never the other way round.

I do hope you can attend and let us know what gives at these do’s. What would be your burning question to ask them?

PS Shouldn’t these shindigs now be called assemblies or congregations rather than conferences?

I got the same idea as you, that it’d be a laugh & I might go, but reluctantly I’ve had to bow out for money & time reasons…
