Conference is over. The display stands are down, the leaflets distributed, the empty coffee cups are on the tables. It was a great Conference actually. I really enjoyed myself. I didn’t manage to live blog as many of the speeches as I would have liked, but I must say Aileen Campbell MSP spoke brilliantly, with a short video introduction from her leader Alex Salmond. Ieuan’s speech was well delivered, and he expanded on how Plaid are performing effectively in government to weather the economic crisis. I liked Jill Evans’s speech about her role as an MEP and the forthcoming European elections, specifically her question as to whether there would be an economic crisis now if women were in charge of the economic structures- what about Lehman Sisters anyone?
There really was a vibrancy about the conference this year, and I hope its a clear sign of things to come. The staff did a sterling job, and they deserve time to relax a little after this! I went to the Cymru X fringe meeting this evening, and there was a young 10 year old girl who is a school councillor in Barry who wants to set up Cymru X activities in her school- s0 we are quite literally preparing for the next generation of Plaid leaders!
Right, well I’m off to get ready for the Conference dinner. I have to show my SNP guests how we do social events in Plaid Cymru aswell, don’t you know….
