Avenue Q
The Avenue Q event was last night and after enjoying lots of excellent tapas in a nearby restaurant and a few pre-show drinks in the Chandos pub we went to the Noel Coward theatre to watch the show. However, rather than describe this fantastically funny show to those of you who missed out, we found this clip on YouTube for you to see for yourselves.

More to follow later!

Dagenham and Rainham Selection
Last night the Dagenham and Rainham Open Primary took place.
Congratulations goes to Simon Jones who was voted in as the new Conservative Candidate to stand against Jon Cruddas at the next election that gets called.
Havering Conservative Future look forward to working with Simon and hope that the other three candidates find seats.
I was lucky enough to help with the CV sift and interviews to put the four candidates through to the Open Primary. All four were very strong candidates that once selected, will give current non-conservative MP's a run for their seats.

Monday Poll - Question 12
Britain should consider making the legal drinking age 21 as it has "lost the plot" when it comes to regulating alcohol, policy pundits claim. The UK has one of the worst problems in Europe with a fifth of children aged 11 to 15 drinking at least once a week. Public Policy Research (PPR), the journal of the IPPR think-tank, says it is time to practise "tough love", such as reviewing the minimum drinking age. However, other commentators are that this proposal is unenforceable and that we should simply apply the current rule more effectively. What do you think?

Monday Poll - Question 11
Having been released by the Iranian regime last week, the 15 British service personnel have sold their stories to newspapers and television. Should they be made to remain silent about what happened or is it the public interest for them reveal what happen to them?

London Drinks @ The Cittie of Yorke
Last night saw a classic Havering Conservative Future drink-up at the Cittie of Yorke pub of High Holborn, London. It was particularly pleasing to see members from other branches across London, such as Islington, Enfield North and Poplar & Limehouse.
.
Our next event is the Question & Answer session with the Conservative candidates for the Mayor of London at St Michael's Church Hall, Main Road, Romford on Friday 20th April. This is proving to be a very popular event so please let Sarah Mackintosh know that you are attending at chairman@haveringconservativefuture.com in order to avoid disappointment.

More Leafleting in St Andrews
Tonight saw more campaigning in the St Andrews ward, delivering the Council Tax leaflet from last week. This time we concentrated on the part of the ward close to Elm Park. Despite only lasting for about an hour and a quarter we managed to deliver more than expected and should be able to finish our last task over the weekend. We will be announcing the time and date of the next campaign day shortly, so please keep checking this blog.
The evening was rounded off in the traditional way, with a few drinks in the Chequers pub in Hornchurch.
Update: The next campaign event will be held on Wednesday 11th April. Contact Gary Murphy on campaigns@haveringconservativefuture.com for more information.

Monday Poll - Question 10
This week it emerged that Conservative Campaign Headquarters (CCHQ) had set up a 'Stop David Miliband' unit in order to deal with the potential threat posed by him running for the leadership of the Labour Party. So is CCHQ right to worry about this man? Is it the more youthful and charasmatic Enviroment Secretary or the more experienced and tough Chancellor who the conservatives should be worried about?

Another Free Bowlarama!
Last night, HCF went for some free Bowling at Number Ten in the Brewery. As there were some 'difficulties' last time which resulted in a one game, 4.5 hour spectacular, this round was on them. However, we were asked to move lanes mid-game and as a result scored another voucher for 10 free games with minimal inconvenience - result!
The evening was great success, after Bowling we headed on down to the Moon and Stars and then into 131 for some 'quality' disco dancing. This morning the Committee met to discuss upcoming Social Events and we'll be publishing the list soon (including the next free Bowlarama!)
