North Cotswolds and Tewkesbury Liberal Democrats Win the Penhaligon Award

North Cotswolds and Tewkesbury Liberal Democrats are delighted to have won the 2024 Penhaligon Award at the Autumn Liberal Democrats Conference.

Babs Farmer who collected the award on behalf of the party said "I had the enormous privilege at conference today  of accepting the Penhaligon Award on behalf of North Cotswolds and Tewkesbury Liberal Democrats.

This was won by every single one of you, over a very long time culminating in all that was achieved in the past year. It honours all of the hard work you have put in across our communities -  and the dedication of those who did not live to see this success.
I happened to be available to receive the award  but there are so many who earned it. Congratulations!"

The David Penhaligon Award: 

This award is named for former MP David Penhaligon, a cherished former stalwart of the Cornish Party who took the seat of Truro in 1974. David was a prominent figure in the party and the nation and will always be remembered for his succinct advice to local campaigners: “‘stick it on a piece of paper and stuff it through a letterbox’.

The award goes to a Lib Dem association with excellent membership growth over the previous year.
