I invited my Labour MP but he declined. Was an inspiring meeting.

I don't do twitter either, thanks to all who are posting from there. Are any local MP's there ?

I have been following the twitter feed whilst cooking a late tea (dh was stuck in the snow) ... looks like it was brilliant

Sounds great. Good that theres no trouble from TRAs

Room is full and extra seats opened! Over 150 people here, mostly women. Great speeches. The wonderful Jennifer James, the awesome Phillipa Molloy who spoke out in the Times this weekend are here and the many women speaking from the floor as well the speakers are so inspiring. I feel reinvigorated to fight this again after feeling very depressed post Madigan etc.

The fragrant Tara Hewitt is also here and was leafleting but has not said anything.

I couldn't make it after all. Very interested in hearing how it went - no Twitter for me.

Nineteenagain · 17/01/2018 20:30

Interested to know how its going

Are you there thecraftyfox? I would love to get a sense of how it is. Is it a big meeting?

4 Mumsnetters safely through the doors and into the meeting. People handing out leaflets outside but all pretty calm so far.

Hope it goes well tonight, have a good time everyone who's going.

VivaLeBeaver · 17/01/2018 18:41

Not speaking then, but has helped organise it.

Mamaka · 17/01/2018 18:40

Devastated I can't go after all... my ex's car mysteriously broke down, today of all days, so he couldn't come and look after the dc while I attended the meeting. Maybe he is secretly a TRA?!

Nobrain · 17/01/2018 18:24

Flowers to everyone. Gutted I can't make it tonight.

PlonitbatPlonit · 17/01/2018 18:17

Speakers are Bea Campbell, Kristina Jayne Harrison and Ruth Serwotka.

VivaLeBeaver · 17/01/2018 17:49

Think I know someone who is speaking tonight. Sad I can't make it.

PlonitbatPlonit · 17/01/2018 17:39

I wish I was in Manchester this evening. It's pretty exciting to think of all you Mumsnetters converging and meeting. I will be following your adventures here and also on twitter. I think the hashtag they will be using is #WPUK

I've now had an email back confirming where the venue is. I won't post it on here for obvious reasons but, if you contact them and your name is on the attendee list, they will get back to you quickly.
