Plaid Aberavon on the campaign trail...( or Cafe trail!)

Plaid's Linet Purcell in La Cucina- a lovely little Cafe in Skewen, where we have a Plaid Cymru notice board until the election on May the 3rd. We happened to pass by a few weeks ago when out canvassing, and jumped at the opportunity to let the people of Skewen know about all the campaigning that Linet and Plaid Afan are doing in the area- from supporting the planning protestors in Llandarcy, to sorting out the parking issue in Taibach, to collecting thousands of signature for the Neurosurgery petition by cycling around the constituency, and supporting the cleaners of Port Talbot Hospital in their fight against cuts in working hours.

Pop in and have a look if you are in the area... you might as well try a Caramel Latte while you are there!

Vote on May the 3rd

The election is looming, so I have been out canvassing in Aberavon today with our pro active and enthusiastic candidate, Linet Purcell. It was a beautiful day to be in the Afan Valley- the mountains were spectacular in the day's sunshine. We picked up a lot of local issues, and a lot of the same responses on the doorstep- 'One thing is certain, we're never voting Labour again'. If they all go out and vote differently this time, the election is set to be very exciting indeed. It's all about making the campaign vibrant and radical enough for them to actually vote, hence Plaid's launch today of a billboard with the word ' Vote' shaped in plaid's poppies. Considering that the % of people who are registered to vote is currently very low, we must make sure that people register before the 18th of April so that they can take part in this important election.....

Linet Purcell's success in Aberavon.

Roedd cyngerdd Spencer Davis yn wych neithwr. Odd dros 500 o bobl yn Theatr y Princess Royal ym Mhort Talbot. Llongyfarchiadau i Linet Purcell, ymgeisydd Plaid Afan am drefnu noson gwych. Mae hi'n gystadleuaeth gryf yn erbyn yr enwog Brian Gibbons. Bydd mwy o ddigwyddiadau cyffroes i ddod, mae'n siwr!

The Spencer Davis concert was superb last night. There was over 500 people present at the Princess Royal Theatre in Port Talbot. Congratulations to Linet Purcell, Plaid Cymru's candidate, Aberavon for arranging such a successful evening. She's definitely a strong competitor against Brian Gibbons for the seat, with more tricks up her sleave no doubt!

Update-
The website Wales elects 2007 noted that the Theatre doesn't look that crowded from the picture. For info- I took the picture from the balcony so I didn't manage to get the audience in the shot!
