Conference success

We had an excellent conference last weekend in Cardiff.

The mood was really upbeat with party members and supporters sensing that this could be a significant election for Plaid.

I took the opportunity to discuss and debate a wide range of issues at a number of fringe meetings. But the highlight has to be taking part in a policy speed-dating session which gave representatives from charities and other organisations an opportunity to discuss important issues with candidates such as myself.

I learned so much and it has made me even more determined that things must change.

Steaming south

Heading south to Cardiff this morning for Plaid's pre-election conference. It's not only an opportunity to meet people from the many organisations represented there, but also a chance to compare notes with other candidates and activists about the election campaign.

One of those will be Aberconwy's Phil Edwards, who like us in Clwyd West, is reaping the benefit of the divisions in the Tory party, most recently when senior councillor Dennis Tew (Deganwy) left the Tories to join Plaid. In Clwyd West, the Tories have now decided to re-admit someone whom they expelled a short time ago!

I'll also be talking to Dafydd Wigley and Culture Minister Alun Ffred Jones about forthcoming visits to Clwyd West.
