Students! (Current sixth form or university students, and those graduating this summer),

We are looking for ‘(expenses-only) paid’ student workers to campaign/leaflet/door-knock in Norwich this June through to September (and each succeeding summer, through to the next General Election).

Come to this key Green target area, and help us break through further! Norwich South is one the national party target constituencies. Student help this summer will enable us to build up our vote ahead of the next General Election and increase the number of council wards in the constituency in which we are actively working. We currently hold nine seats on Norwich City Council and have the potential to make further gains and become the second party at this year’s local elections (see overleaf for details).

Spring time in Swansea...

Come to Conference!

Its coming up to Conference time! Young Greens from all over the country will be heading to Swansea to attend plenaries, fringes, workshops and generally get together and enjoy ourselves!

Dates: 22nd to 25th Mar 2007

Venue: Brangwyn Hall, Guildhall Road South, Abertawe /Swansea, SA1 4PE

For those of you who have never come to Conference before, please do make the effort. The Young Greens are all a friendly bunch and we will be holding welcome drinks in the bar on Friday night for new and old Young Greens alike. If you need to find us at any time you can visit the Young Greens stall or the Young Greens table in the plenary hall. Please also come along to the Young Greens fringes on national strategy, campaigns and the new website and find out how you can get more involved.

The conference is being held in Swansea because it is the run up to the Welsh Assembly elections on the 3rd May. The themes of the conference will reflect those powers of the Welsh Assembly that arguably have the most impact on the people of Wales. Themes include:

Young Greens attended the Spring Party Conference in March held in Swansea. It was great to see each other again and join in in the controversial debates taking place (such as whether there should be a leadership of the Party). There were also lots of good fringes taking place on topics such as the secret genocide taking place in West Papua, Dafur, Green Party education policy, carbon creditting, a women's only fringe and much more. There were of course the key note speeches held by our male and female Principle Speakers, Sian Berry and Derek Wall and lots of socialising in the evening.

Young Greens held a stall with all our campaign material including, Stop Trident, Anti-Xenophobia and No to ID and held a fringe meeting updating everyone on what we are doing. We also brainstormed for further ideas on how to take our campaigns forward. (Get hold of Young Greens campaign packs by e-mailing admin@younggreens.org.uk to get involved!)
