Ferndale's first campaign day of 2011 proved to be a great success, with many members from across the constituency lending a hand to leaflet and door-knock on a sunny spring morning.
We were fortunate enough to be joined by Val Shawcross, Ken's running mate in the London Mayoral elections and our assembly member. Val spoke to many people on the doorstep and later said "It was an excellent, productive session which was extremely well organised and I enjoyed the whole event. Ferndale is a strong Labour area but in the past we haven't done enough campaigning here - volunteers have been sent elsewhere to work. If we are to win London for Labour in the Mayoral elections next year, this is exactly the community we need to be in close touch with and encouraging to vote. The Sun shone on us on Saturday. Being superstitious, it was perhaps a good sign that we have started work in exactly the right place for 2012 ."
Thanks goes to everyone who turned out, it is very much appreciated. An extra special thanks goes to Alex Baker, Vauxhall Campaigns Officer, for organising everything and everyone, and then finding the time to take some photos (see the 'gallery' page).
Ferndale's next campaign day is on Saturday 9th April. We will be meeting at the corner of Bedford Road and Ferndale Road at 12pm. We will be doorknocking and leafletting until 2pm when we will head to The Bread and Roses for lunch.
