CANCELLED North Herefordshire General Election trial run!


Following the death of Queen Elizabeth II, we have taken the decision to cancel the Herefordshire action day on Sunday 11th September.


We have not taken this decision lightly, and would like to thank all the volunteers who had worked so hard to make this event a success, as well as all of you who were planning to attend, especially those of you who had already booked travel and accommodation for the weekend.

As the country begins a period of national mourning, we feel it would not be appropriate to engage directly in political campaigning. While many of you sincerely believe in republican democracy, we are also a party of compassion and respect, and now is a time to show sensitivity to the emotions millions of people are feeling. The vast majority of residents would not welcome our visit right now - it would be entirely counter-productive.


We will look forward to welcoming you to Herefordshire in the future.

Alongside our fellow target constituencies, we're aiming to knock on 15,000 doors for the Greens in one weekend! Join us on 11th September and be part of something really big. We all know we need more Greens elected and this weekend will make a huge difference.

We'll be delivering newsletters, knocking on doors and having fun! Full training will be provided and there'll be experienced people to buddy with. There'll be social time, to meet other friendly activists, and we've got some exciting plans for the evening too!

It's going to be so big we are covering two locations. Come for just the morning, just the afternoon or all day.

In both locations we'll be campaigning for Ellie Chowns, our MP candidate, and also our local election candidates, who are laying the ground work for general election success.

In Ledbury we'll be delivering leaflets for Justine Peberdy and knocking on doors for Stef Simmons and Ellie Chowns. Meet at Burgage Hall. A delicious lunch will be provided. Come at 10am for the morning session, 1pm for lunch and the afternoon session.

In Leominster we'll be delivering leaflets and knocking doors for Ellie and our terrific trio of Green councillors, aiming to re-elect them and gain a fourth! Meet at Leominster Community Centre and we're providing lunch here too. Just like Ledbury, come at 10am for the morning session, 1pm for lunch and the afternoon session.

In the evening, everyone's welcome to come to the Left Bank in Hereford to celebrate the days achievements and take some time to relax. Hereford's only a short train from Leominster or Ledbury, and the Left Bank is a 20 minute walk from the train station or a 5 minute bike ride (maybe try out a Beryl bike!). If driving, there are many options in Hereford but Greyfriars Car Park is the closest. And if you'd like to stay the night in Herefordshire, there are plenty of hotel options.

We're going to have a ball! Thank you so much for signing up - we can't wait to see you!
