BLACKPOOL CONFERENCE JULY 2003
YOU MUST ALL BE EXTRA GENEROUS TO PAY FOR THE PRINTING, COS WE'VE ONLY GOT 2 DAYS TO GET THE DOSH IN. COMMUNIQUES SHOULD BE ON THE WEB THE SAME DAY AS THEY COME OUT, PROVIDED THE STRING DOESN'T BECOME DETACHED FROM THE TIN CANS.
THOSE WISHING TO GIVE US STORIES WITH THE APPROPRIATE FEE WILL KNOW HOW TO FIND US.
WHILE AWAITING FURTHER INSTRUCTIONS, WHY NOT AMUSE YOURSELVES BY REMINISCING ABOUT THE BLACKPOOL OF 3 YEARS AGO. IT HASN'T CHANGED.
Here's the Election results which you can find in all sorts of other places on the internet these days. It would be unfair on our Conference readers to comment on them till next Tuesday. So You'll have to wait, chums. I'll just point out that our analysis of 7 seats minimum, 11 seats max for the Moderati and their followers was spot on (given the low turn-out of 14%). Judas says we should take up prediction for a living...
