So after a very long day campaigning on Thursday we have had a fantastic set of results over the weekend both locally and nationally.  Our hard work has paid off and we got Lynda Arkley elected as Mayor of North Tyneside.  We also had a good result in the European elections getting Martin Callanan re-elected to represent us in the European Parliament. 

May I take this opportunity on behalf of Lynda and Martin to thank everyone so much for the hard work, time and effort they have put in over the last few months.  Without the work that CF does it would make campaigning so much harder so your help is much appreciated. 

I hope you all have a great summer.  We of course are not going to stop over the summer completely but we are going to have a well earned rest.  There are campaign days with Paul Bristow and in Hexham to look forward to.  Also, a few CFers and myself will be joining YBF and heading to Washington DC for two weeks to learn more about campaigning and to take part in some media training.
