Spring Forum – has put a real spring back into the campaign

Spring Forum was something quite different this year – the atmosphere electric!

The event can be somewhat of a let down compared to Conference but this year was anything but – in fact a prominent member of Liberal Youth even described it as “buzzing” and had chosen our event over a Liberal one!

By Rowan Cole

2010 has been dubbed the year for change by the Conservatives and people across the country, not least by students in Surrey who on Saturday 6th February visited the new state of the art Conservative Campaign centre GenEVA based at CCHQ in London.
