It’s been a historic year for the Green Party in the East Midlands and we’ve made impressive gains. We stood more candidates than ever and achieved the second highest number of wins for Greens in any region in the UK. That was achieved by hard work by all of us across the region.
This year’s East Midlands Conference is a celebration of that hard work and a time when we can come together, talk, rest, refuel, and plan. We are holding this year’s event in Derby in a community cinema called QUAD. The building is in the heart of Derby in the cathedral quarter, close to public transport, and the historic Silk Mill on the Derwent.
We hope you’ll join us for talks throughout the day, and with some luck a chance to meet our leadership and deputy leadership candidates. Invitations will be sent to all in the race and we already have confirmation from a few candidates.
At our conference last year we had a separate online AGM and this allowed more time for talks, breakouts, and socialising, so we thought we would carry this on this year. We will be hosting the East Midlands Green Party AGM on the 14th of August on Zoom. You can sign up here for that event.
We are hugely excited to be having another East Midlands Conference and sincerely hope you can join us, in person or online. We are attempting to run an online version of the conference this year at a reduced rate, as opportunities to participate will be limited, and you’ll have to provide your own tea, coffee, and biscuits. But it might be a long way from your house to the Quad and we want to see you there!
More details will follow, but remember that tickets are limited and we have already had 400 new members in the last month! Grab your spot and we’ll see you on the 19th of July for the big photo!
