| Many of you will have received an email from the Labour Party national office, explaining that there has been a data breach of our national membership list which is managed on our behalf by a third party. Unfortunately, this has not been resolved and we do not have access to up to date information in order to send out formal notices. We have therefore postponed the All Members Meeting for November.
We are hoping however that this newsletter will reach a fairly large section of our membership. This has been a busy few months for Bath CLP and you can read all about the activites here. |
| Members coffee morning in the office on 2nd Oct – despite the awful weather, members came to the office for cake and a chat and we raised £45 for Bath Welcomes Refugees.
Freshers Week – Our Youth Officer and the Chair of the Bath University Labour Club ran a brilliantly successful stall for freshers week at both local universities in September/October. Family Fun Day at Bath City Farm Oct 17th – There was great turnout on a lovely sunny day. Over 30 members came together to meet in person for a chat and some delicious pizzas.

| Dan Norris is undertaking a review of supported bus services – can you help?
The West of England Combined Authority provides support to several bus services, and Dan Norris, our new Labour Metro Mayor, wants to hear the thoughts of existing bus passengers and potential new passengers across Bath. Dan would like to know how supported bus services can be improved, what would encourage you to use bus services more often and what they should look like in the future. Bath has a quite a few supported bus services, so this is very relevant to us all. You can complete the consultation using the link below and please share it widely. |
| It has been great to see so many positive initiatives from members across Bath Labour.
We believe there is a role for every Bath Labour member in helping get the next Labour government elected and having a good time while we are at it. If you would like to find out more about how you can get involved you can reply to this email – we would love to hear from you. |
