Dear Fellow Patriot,
Thanks to all who attended our July meeting.The subject of debate was the NHS and the shameful treatment of many patients,especially the elderly. Many useful points were raised and these views sent to party H.Q.
Our next meeting will be on Sunday 25th August - the meeting point is as usual in the City Centre. If you require details of location please send e-mail to bnpnottingham@gmail.com or contact us on twitter @bnpnottingham.
We are still leafleting 2 large council estates in Nottingham. This is on every weekday. If you can help, let us know. This is in run-up to next years Euro elections.
Our ambition is to leaflet ever household in the city before June 2014. You can help by either leafleting your area, or giving money for us to purchase leaflets. Each colour gloss professionally produced leaflet costs 1.5 pence. See what you can do to help. E-mail your support or suggestions or contact us on twitter @bnpnottingham.
Also a new initiative over party recruitment is being trialed in Notts & Derbys. If successful it will be rolled out Nationwide in all 12 Regions.
It consists of offering people who are interested in helping the party but who do not want to officially join (i.e being on the membership list) or cannot afford the £48 membership fee,an alternative. The alternative is for people to become a 'Friend of the Party' at a cost of £5 a year, this money going entirely to the local branch funds. The persons details are only held on the local branch database e.g.e-mails.
Of course there are restrictions for 'Friends' as opposed to members. Friends cannot vote on party policies, nor stand as candidates, but for many people this might not be issue. So if you know someone who would be interested in this please let us know.
Thanks
Jeff
