UKIP Cornwall Newsletter - Summer

Welcome

Well, this is the last edition of this UKIP Cornwall Newsletter in this form, and my last as Editor. Look out for the next edition at the end of November under the editorship of David Lucas. One of the things that struck me about David's brief biography (and not for the first time) is what interesting lives UKIP members have had. Perhaps David may like to start including short biographies of prominent UKIP members in future editions. Please send future comments, suggestions and articles to David at janddlucas@btinternet.com.

Although I am stepping down as Editor, I am still UKIP Cornwall Chairman (for the time being, anyway) and will continue to be very actively involved. Having successfully completed the Candidate Assessment Centre, I hope to be adopted as a UKIP candidate for the next General Election but also I am working hard to try and become a UKIP Cornwall Councillor in 2013. My work as a Parish Councillor seems to be taking up more and more time so I am delighted that David has agreed to take over this role. He will be ably supported by Russ Smith, who has agreed to manage the design and formatting aspects so that future editions will print more clearly than this version does.

You may well have heard already but the result of the Pan-European Party ballot was No. The full result was as follows:

Total valid votes cast 7,696 (Turnout 49.2%) Yes 2535 (32.9%) No 5161 (67.1%)

Finally, thank you to everyone who has contributed encouraged and supported me during my time as Editor. I have enjoyed producing this publication but I am sure it will benefit from a new look and a fresh approach. I look forward to meeting up with many of you at various UKIP meetings and activities as we all continue our efforts and build on our success so far.
