January 4, 2025: County Council Campaign Launch
The Granary
Unit 6, St. Martin's Quarter
Worcester, WR1 2DA

You are invited to join members and activists at our County Campaign Launch Event.
Key Note Speaker

We are delighted to have Green MP Ellie Chowns as our keynote speaker. Ellie achieved an historic breakthrough this year winning the North Herefordshire seat with 43%. At the previous election she had scored a creditable 9.3% of the vote. Ellie will speak on how she achieved this historic win.
This year Tor Pingree achieved 10.4% of the vote in Worcester with 10.4%, a great indicator of our potential to be chosen as a target constituency at the next general election.
To achieve a Green MP in Worcester we need to prove that we can sustain our election success and have the capability to create an army of ground campaigners as well as the ability to raise the funds necessary for a credible campaign.
At the event you will learn about our election strategy and be introduced to our county council election campaign candidates. We will explain how each of us can play our part in making that success happen.
There is no entry fee but do please do buy food and drinks to help fund the event.
It's a party so we will have music to round off the evening - our very own Tor Pingree who sings as part of Icy Moon Explorers as well as the hugely popular Tyler Massey, recently featured at our gig in St. Peter's.

It will be a first chance to bid in our Auction of Promises on-line as part of our fundraising for the final push towards the elections and also to donate to our highly valued 100 Club that help propel us to success in May 2024 City Elections.
Please RSVP so we can plan the catering
If you don't know anybody yet or are new to Worcester and want to meet someone briefly for a coffee in advance then please e-mail the organiser and we will arrange a pre-meeting.
If you need a disabled parking space (they are limited) then please let the organiser know so it can be reserved. The venue is fully accessible.
If you would like to come but will need a lift there and back, also let us know and we will try and arrange for a member to pick you up and drop you back afterwards.
January 11, 2025: Big Day Out - Saturday 11th January - Riverside
Riverside
33 Shrubbery Avenue
Worcester, WR1 1QN

The elections for Worcestershire County Council in May are a big opportunity to set the direction of the county for the years to come. For the first time in over 20 years, the Conservatives could lose control and the Green Party could hold the balance of power.
In Worcester, we have a fantastic opportunity to win the most seats on the county council, and win the popular vote for the third year running.
After our excellent city county election results in May, we need to keep building, to make Worcester impossible to ignore as a general election target. To do this we need to gain Riverside division from the Conservatives.
We will have a choice of canvassing and leaflet delivery available. Don't worry if this is the first time you've decided to come to an action day as full training will be provided and we will be going out in teams.
We're meeting at 33 Shrubbery Avenue, Worcester, WR1 1QN, at 10 am. Lunch will be provided and there will be an afternoon session starting at 1.30.
Shrubbery Avenue is about 15 minutes’ walk from Foregate Street station. There is 3 hours’ free parking on the street, then permitted parking on the street after 3 hours - anyone parking can request a permit from Matt. Contact Matt on mattadamwilliams@gmail.com

Please let us know you can come by signing up.

We look forward to seeing you on 11th January!
