Why not indeed? (Which I think is what you meant to say Shambles...)

Well, the LibDems are having theirs just up the road from Weymouth, in Bournemouth 23-27th Sept.

Then the Labour Party have theirs in Brighton 30th September to 4th October,

And the Tories have theirs in Blackpool 8-11 - but that might be a bit like intruding on private grief. And their support might not be too helpful at this point in history, some might say, even if we could get it...

So the rule seems to be that the "major parties" have to have their conferences in seaside resorts beginning with B.

However the Greens do it differently, and have theirs in Salisbury, Wilts on 13th to 16th September. And that might be the one most receptive to this kind of concern.

Most of those places have a fairly active localish folk scene I'd have thought. So if anyone feels like planning anything, post it here. Could be fun. You could be the only interesting and enjoyable thing happening.
