Les Hixson Chairman of Chichester Conservatives City Branch accepted The Agent's Cup on behalf of City Branch and its Committee.
The Agent's Cup is awarded annually to the Branch Chairman or Member who has made a most significant contribution or achievement in the past year.
City Branch and its committee have worked very hard to increase the number of events they've held over the past year; increase attendance at their monthly coffee mornings and introduce a 'meet your councillor' session at each coffee morning. Fundraising activities were almost 300% up on the previous year. Membership has been increased by over 10% and a new membership drive is planned.
Chichester City Branch are also starting a Conservative Policy Forum Group who will meet approximately every other month to discuss policy papers - the first one is avaialble now and a meeting date will be arranged to discuss The Government's Housing Policy. Feedback will be given to Ministers. It will be a great opportunity for Members to get involved with the Policy making process and give valuable input and feedback.
