Sunday at conference

I'm afraid I didn't make it out of bed too early on Sunday, but ventured into the hall in time to see the presidential handover from Simon Hughes - denied the chance to speak! - to Ros Scott.

Ros went on to hand out the membership awards to my mate Gareth Epps and the Reading party (largest increase) and to Leeds East (largest percentage increase).

Then it was on to the appeal and Phil Willis giving his last speech at a conference in his home town. Unfortunately I failed to get Tim Farron's paper aeroplane on film...

Bob Somper got his two minutes of annual glory for his sterling efforts with the Christmas Draw as he handed over a cheque to Phil.

And then it was on to Nick's speech - see below.
