Election Hustings - Wednesday 7th October

This Wednesday, at the Royal British Legion in Cobham, Philip Benstead will be taking to the soapbox to address us in his bid to win support for his re-election to CTC Council as the Councillor for the South East Region. Your committee has welcomed this opportunity to engage with one of our councillors and can advise you that Philip is the only one who has suggested talking to us.

The South East Region extends throughout Kent, Sussex, Surrey, Hampshire, Berkshire. Oxfordshire, Buckinghamshire, Isle of Wight, Channel Isles so for those of us not represented by Kristian Gregory, CTC Councillor for London, there is an opportunity to vote in the upcoming election.

Philip is a forthright, enthusiastic and engaging speaker so please try to sip your tea quietly while you listen to him set out his stall. In particular he wants to invite questions from members so please stand by to fire some good questions at him.

Those of us who are in the South East catchment and therefore eligible to vote in the election should be receiving ballot papers and personal statements for all the candidates.

There is a page about Philip on the CTC website at:

His brief address will begin at around 10:35 so please try to be in before he takes the floor.

Tim
(Secretary)
