Membership and involvement in politics

One thing that is wonderful is the way in which more and more people are getting involved in our campaign...and energised by it
Membership and involvement with the Hexham Conservative Association is significantly on the increase. We are getting more of the 16-25 age group involved. Well over 200 people will be actively involved in the first few weeks of the campaign.
All the youngsters want to do is canvass which is great!
The facebook campaign and this site are making a huge difference. Not a twitterer myself
Already since last weekend when we were canvassing in Ponteland new members have signed up and asked to get involved, but its not just there - in Haydon Bridge and in Haltwhistle we are getting lots more signed up from the Acres and on the hill in Haltwhistle, neither of which is traditional tory territory. One chap signed up nearly a year after I organised to have the hole in his road fixed just off HordleyAcres in Haydon Bridge
