Following the Annual General Meeting of the Bournemouth West Conservative Association, I am writing to you as the new Chairman.

I do hope that you are keeping safe and well as we begin to emerge from the pandemic and hopefully life can begin to get back to some kind of normality for us all in the coming weeks.

Your Association now has a new team of Officers, all of whom will be working together to ensure that we are able to concentrate on the priorities for you and the Conservative Party.  Central to that will be our work with your Member of Parliament Conor Burns and our Conservative led Council. I should very much like to thank the new team for agreeing to take up their positions and help me to lead the Association forward through what are likely to be challenging times as we approach future elections.

As we emerge from the constraints of lockdown we shall begin to plan social and political events for Members of the Association, as well as re-establishing activities across as many Wards as possible within Bournemouth West.  If you would like to help with this in your area of the constituency, please let me know and you will be made very welcome.

In the meantime, I look forward to re-establishing the benefits of membership of the Association and to welcoming new members who join us in the year ahead. Please let me know if you think of any potential new members so that we can contact them.

Despite the pandemic, we still have a strong network of political activity led by our Conservative Councillors, and as we approach the Council elections and the next General Election, both Conor and I would welcome those who are interested to contact either of us about joining the team.

I look forward to meeting as many Members of the Association as possible over the coming months.

Yours sincerely,

John Beesley
