The Leyton by-election has been called for 14 February. It has been suggested to me that many of us who have been blogging about the Miranda Grell affair should be putting our boots where our mouths/keyboards are and help Winnie Smith get elected. I entirely agree.

Details can be found over at the Flock Together website. So far, just two of us are registered on the site for more information about the by-election. My challenge is to get that number up to five as quickly as possible. Anyone with me?

If it is successful, we might want to consider trying to organise a few special Liberal Drinks in order to make it a bit of a social event. Any other ideas about getting people there?

UPDATE: Four registered, one to go!

Despite failing to promote it properly, my Liberal Drinks Pledge has been successful:

Still two more weeks to go before the deadline. It would be fantastic if this lead to dozens of Drinks starting up in the New Year. It’s easy-peasy to organise and we can help get your word out. What’s stopping you?

What a difference a weekend makes. This time last week I was contemplating canceling the October Westminster Liberal Drinks - didn’t seem much point if the election was happening. It would have been a shame given that we hadn’t had one in September due to a clash with conference, July due to the clash with the Ealing Southall by-election and August due to, um, me not bothering to organise it (only to get half a dozen calls of people wondering what was happening - sorry).

Now it is well and truly back on - 17 October - RSVP via Facebook.

What’s more, it looks like we’re going to have more across the UK than we have ever had this month. Looks like the idea is finally beginning to take off. Again, you can express your interest by joining our Facebook Group.

…time for me to give the Drinks website an overhaul, methinks.
