coffee morning to canvassing

Posted April 15th, 2009

Coffee morning went well. Clearly a lot of effort had gone in to it. Weather affected turnout a little but this meant that those who came got to really spend some time with me and raise a lot of questions. We must have talked for an hour and a half about a host of issues and it was great. Great experience for me and I hope I gave people something to think about too.

Long canvass this evening in the locality. Covered a lot of ground, though not many were answering their doors due to the weather. Called in to a house where I used to live which was a bit of fun.

Finished on something of a bad note unfortunately. It’s amazing how some people can be so aggressive on the door and so negative. I kept my composure but my performance was quite underwhelming. While the person seemed like the type who would go out of their way not to be satisfied, I wasn’t very impressed with what I was saying. And I guess that’s what matters at the end of the day.
