I had a great time campaigning, everyone I met was positive and friendly with a lot of nice comments about the OMRLP. During the day,my assistants and myself stood outside the local Tesco, Waitrose and local GP surgeries with posters, which had been pasted onto wooden boards and leaflets.
In the evening we went around the pubs in the constituency, the record was seven pubs in one evening. We would go wearing our loony gear and just order drinks and sit down, the customers then came over to talk and receive leaflets.
I attended two hustings events, one in Shefford and the other at Cranfield University. These were rather nerve wracking but enjoyable. All the candidates, except one, got on very well. I’m afraid I did not attend the count as I was on holiday (booked before I was asked to stand!) and one of the other candidates text me the result when it was announced.
