Spring Conference 2006 - Scarborough

Young Greens views on Scarborough Conference, March 2006

According to popular vote:

  • Best Moments: Tom T on control-freakery, "I'm the one FOR control-freakery!" in the plenary, and when it became obvious that the YG Quiz was going to be a runaway success!
  • Worst moment: When the fire alarm went off just as Caroline Lucas MEP was starting her keynote speech.
  • Funniest moment: "veganism isn't a diet, it's an eating disorder" in Friday's plenary, Emma getting soaked when a wave broke over the wall at high tide
  • Best Dressed: Rob Cole in bespoke tailored hemp suit.

Thanks to all who attended, including: Tom, Ian, Chloe, Charley, Alexandra, Peter, Emma, Darren, Matt, Samir, Aled, Ramu, Dave, Chris, Max, Rob S, Rob C, Rob H, Martin, Jenny, Justine, Joe, Andrew, Mitchell etc!
