Eleanor Burnham spent an activity packed day with the Arfon Liberal Democrats on Saturday 14th November, a day which concluded with a landmark decision to change the name of Bangor, Caernarfonshire and Districts Liberal Democrats to the Arfon Liberal Democrats.

Eleanor said "I was delighted to spend the day with our wonderful team in North West Wales. It was a busy day, beginning with an advice surgery in Penrhyn Hall, Bangor followed by a coffee morning with local people. Despite the appalling weather the event was well attended and both the produce and bric-a-brac stalls proved popular.

Later in the afternoon, the local party held their Annual General Meeting at Talgai Hall followed by a home made supper where they were joined by friends from other parts of Wales.

The Chairman, Mike Clemence, welcomed the Mayor of Bangor, Mrs Jean Forsyth, Eleanor, Sarah Green (Prospective Parliamentary Candidate for Arfon ), friends and members old and new.

The following Officers were elected:

Chairman - Mike Clemence

Secretary - Judith Stammers

Treasurer - Cllr John Martin

Membership Secretary - Cllr Jean Forsyth
