First 'Pints in the Parishes' event tonight!

Pints in the Parishes gets underway tonight. I'll be at the Swan in Elstow from around 7.00pm. I'm looking forward to meeting people in a local, informal setting, and giving them the chance to bend my ear about what's important to them and to their local community.
