Conference Campaign: Clarification

Seems some people have been hard at work misrepresenting what I said, so here it is to make sure everyone is clear:

"I was FOR the conference"

In fact for weeks before it happened I made clear time and again that this year's conference was going to be the best yet.

My point was that the students, who are our largest active group and also our most loyal activists, were fobbed off with a rainy morning in Manchester in a poky side room at Spring Forum, whilst the entire events team, funding and support were poured into Loughborough.

The conference in Loughborough was targetted at Working Life members and had a price tag to boot, after that there was little need to start excluding people, especially if they thought they would benefit from that sort of training.

Hope this clears things up...
