9th August - Pig Roast and Music
The weather certainly didn't deter people from attending this fantastic event which saw around 200 people. Everyone had a great time being entertained with live music from Mandy Chaos and Brian Chalker. The food, supplied by Somerset Lamb Ltd and Newton Beef, was excellent, a big thank you to Sally, Tony and their team for a magnificent feast. The night wouldn't have been possible without the hard work and hospitality of Tim and Toni Warren, a huge thank you to them for hosting the event.

On Friday March 26 North East Somerset Conservative Party members attended what will probably be their last social gathering before the General Election – a dinner held in Farmborough Village Hall. Guest of honour was Lord King of Bridgewater formerly Secretary of State for Defence and for Northern Ireland – perhaps better known as Tom King. In a witty speech, he reminded the audience that politics was in many ways like practising to play a piece of music; it was necessary to keep on doing it till it was right and perfect. The Labour Party was now in a very different proposition from when Tony Blair was elected in 1997. Blairism in his view was now dead, and the present Labour Party had now almost given up. In areas such as defence, where there had been numerous defence ministers, none of whom had any previous background or experience in defence matters, he regarded it as scandalous that long delayed defence orders for new ships, helicopters and tanks were now being placed by the Labour Government in its dying days instead of when the troops had needed them years ago. Voters in the forthcoming election should exercise their right to vote - and vote Conservative.
