Being a councillor can be fun!

Pretty busy these last two weeks ie up to the end of September (OK I know this blog posting is three days overdue!) what with having quite a bit of business work as well as council duties.

Mainly meetings outside council eg regular Phoenix Centre surgery, branch meeting, and yet another first – Seaview Governors meetings.  A lot of it was taken up with what sub-committees we would be prepared to go on.  Now I just need to do the training to help me know what I’m going to be doing!

And of course it’s not just meetings and surgeries which show you are bothered about your ward – socials can play a role too.  The former Fairfield Club, now the West End Football & Social Club, on Townhill Road, had their relaunch on the 22nd.  I’ve passed it many times and never knew just how big it is, with a ‘tidy’ sized function room.  It was an evening with a difference – as well as your standard food, drink, disco & raffle, they held a question & answer session with a panel of football players present and past including current Wales Coach Chris Coleman.  Beat that!
