Blog 6th August 2010

This morning I went over to our historic town hall to sign the Mayor’s book as Tamworth’s new Member of Parliament.  A real honour.  Thanks especially to our Mayor Cllr. Lee Bates and Derek from Democratic Services – and Warren and Rob for taking the pictures.

Later as I was leaving I ran into Ian Gibbons who, along with Lee, is a stalwart of Tamworth’s arts scene.  We had a joke about how he’s redder than Lenin but there’s no doubt Ian does a lot for our town.  He has asked me to help him with a couple of projects which will be interesting so I will be in touch with him again soon.

Now I’m back in the office dealing with constituency correspondence.  The team are on dress down Friday – which in Warren’s case means no tie!  Very jolly atmosphere in the office despite another grey August day.
