Its a cloudy day and the sun kissed weekend seems miles away. Going out in Corbridge in the afternoon with Michael Bates, the former MP for Langbaugh, then on to Stannington with the force of nature that is Mel Armstong; am being helped by a team of volonteers who sometimes number 1, sometimes 20. Lots of people giving up their weekends to come and help. I cannot thank them enough but they are all united in their desire to turn this country around.
HEXHAM ON TOUR BATTLE BUS [ok it is beaten up Ford Fiesta normally]
If you want to get involved in other locations there are teams of volonteers that are going to help in
- Tynemouth - on several occasions; simply turn up at 5 Albion Road, Tynemouth. Some are going today. There is always someone there
- Carlisle - off on 23rd April from 11-4pm to help John Stevenson
- The Borders -27th April to help John Lamont leaving via Kielder [9am] and Deadwater and coming home via Byrness [4pm] and Otterburn [5pm]
- and Sunderland Central - Monday May 3rd in the afternoon; described as David Cameron's "wild card" Lee Martin will win. His is a unique campaign that is redefining local politics; simply email in or call if you want to help or just turn up!

Campaign Update
We are flat out this week and almost too busy to blog:
Have spent ..
Sunday campaigning in Corbridge area and then going to the Tynedale Point to Point
Monday going through the responses to our survey and preparing the election plan; the survey has been great as it has been entirely run by local support [we had over 40 people stuffing enevelopes] and a very large proportion were hand delivered. We have had hundreds of responses so far - some bad but mostly very good, and lots of people signing up to help, particularly amongst young voters and in Haltwhistle.
Tuesday in Ponteland - went to the Western Area Committee about 02 mast in Darras Hall - not going as I had hoped in that the Article 4 application is not going ahead as yet, but that is because the Council are stalling us.The 02 fight goes on!
Wednesday all over the place - Hexham in the morning [thank you Sharon for the invite], Haydon Bridge for canvassing and meeting Haydon Bridge supporters [lunch in the Railway] which is going very well, and Haltwhistle in the afternoon. Campaigning today going very well in
Haydon Bridge. Haltwhistle is such a mixed vote; some strong Labour support but many switchers to us who hate the big government style.
Tomorrow starting in Hexham and then heading west - finishing with a canvass and campaign get together / grilling session in Wylam - over 50 confirmed to be coming from all parts of the village
