I don't have much tolerance to blog today unfortunately. Its been a busy week, and next week looks even busier from what I see in my diary- but luckily we have recess on the 21st of July so I have more time to spend here in Neath, and around the region. Last night I opened my office 'officially' and hosted a party for members. My office has been open a while, but we've had a lot of work done to it as the rooms upstairs were a little run down! Jocelyn Davies AM, Deputy Minister for Housing delivered an inspiring speech about Plaid in government, and we later had some musical entertainment from two young people from Neath who are members of the National Youth Choir of Wales. Everyone was in good humour, knowing that summer is on its way ( whether the nice weather will follow suit is anyone's guess!)
I also took part in a panel debate with new Sabbatical Officers in an NUS training day alongside Andrew R T Davies AM, Kirsty Williams, and Alun Davies yesterday. I enjoyed taking part in the discussion, but was a little disappointed that some of the panel members decided to talk the Assembly down to young leaders. I want to be able to inspire young people to get involved in politics, not put them off by saying that chamber debates are boring! Anyway, I'm sure the NUS will have enough to keep them busy on the campaign front in the near future, especially with the changes in FE, the student finance review and the Welsh language education strategy. Good luck to them!
Have a nice weekend all.
