West Midlands activists Colin Ross, Cllr Dave Radcliffe and Adam Taledia campaigning in the Hartlepool by-election

Earlier this week the Regional Campaigns Committee agreed to set up a Active Regional Campaigners network or 'Lib Dem ARC' to help in Local Government by-elections in the West Midlands and Parliamentary by-elections across the UK. Below are more details.

We are officially launching today and there is a flyer in the download area on Colin Ross' (the ARC's co-ordinator) website www.colin-ross.org.uk (although you need to be registered to access this). Download the flyer and return it to me or easier still log on to Colin's website go to the first story and comment to it giving me you name, local party, email and of course your mobile number.

We will of course send emails to all members we have emails for but we want people to volunteer to join a text-list where we will text them to alert them their help is needed - There would be no more than three text's for each by-election, one to say its happening, one to hold a designated action day/weekend and a final reminder a couple of days before polling day to remind people of their last chance to help.
