We are hosting a dinner on the 2nd November to discuss transport issues and promote the campaign against Road Pricing started by Peter Roberts of the 1.8 million downing street petition.

Guest speakers are:

Nigel Farage - leader UK Independence Party
Paul Smith - you probably know him already
Peter Roberts - 1.8 Million signature Downing Street petition against Road Pricing
Mike Nattrass - Transport Spokesman UK Independence Party

Further entertainment will be provided by Nipper Thomas - comedian.

Please come and support us in the fight against road Pricing and poor safety policies from this government.

if you can come on the 2nd November, please go to http://www.invester.org.uk and follow the instructions.

Thank you

No problem for you if are in Shropshire. This is a one off chance to hear all these people together speaking about the threat to our transport freedoms and what can be done to change the governments direction.

Not too be missed.

I've had the honour of attending a Scottish ABD meeting where Paul was a speaker. If you can go to this I thoroughly recommend you do!

I have the graduation for my flying course that day, but would very much like to come along. If I leave it til towards the end of the week do I stand a chance of still being able to get a ticket, or am I gonna be out of luck on this occasion?

Even though I only live about 15 mins away, I'm afraid with my schedule next week making dinner at Patshull - lovely though it will doubtless be - isn't on.
Nonetheless, if Paul has any time once he arrives in Shropshire before the event I'd be delighted to meet up for a long overdue chat over a coffee.

I don't know my travel plans yet, but that would be great if I can fit it in.

PM me with your address / telephone / mobile and I'll let you know of my travel plans as soon as poss.

I'll check with Peter Roberts, but - AFAIK - the last date for bookings was the 25th........

Any last bookings, please let me know by PM ASAP or call Jill on the telephone number shown on the original link.

We have advised the hotel of the numbers, but a couple more should not be a problem.

I'm afraid I was rather unwell and not able to attend this dinner. I was very disappointed actually.

Sincere apologies to anyone who attended hoping or expecting to hear me speak or meet me. It really could not be helped.

Not at all Paul, your health has to come first, and I'm glad you took what must have been a difficult decision to prioritise it! I hope I have a further opportunity to meet you in person in the not too distant future.

It was a very enjoyable night all the same and very informative. Without getting too political, I would recommend to many here to take a look at the UKIP, they seem to be espousing some very common-sense policies, and offering many of the policy choices that seem to be lacking from the traditional political parties.

What Mr Xe said!

Having not being able to make it to the dinner also, I trust Peter Roberts was his usual lucid and clear-thinking self?

Yes, and a thoroughly nice chap to boot. Its a shame I am not in the Telford and Wrekin electorate, but at least now they actually have a choice!
