Back in the Market

So Saturday morning there we were again, back at Queens Market, handing out leaflets and talking to the public. After Friday's quite successful event, one of the traders pointed out the weekend was a good time to get the Lib Dem message across. So armed with 1000 leaflets and nursing a hangover and suffering from too little sleep (the result of a late night's clubbing on Friday evening), a group of us went back.

It was a very productive session. Within an hour and a half almost all the leaflets had gone, helped in no small part by a friendly trader putting copies of the leaflets in the bags of fruit and veg he sold his customers. Chris, our campaign organiser in Newham, also excelled himself by putting an eye-catching message on the front: 'Simon Hughes - winning for Green St.'

We finished up by delivering the remainders through nearby letterboxes. At least this way Simon's message of support for the market should get through. And as for me, well, I picked up another piece of casework, again about housing.
