Members of the European Movement UK from all over the United Kingdom came together in Sheffield’s Victoria Hall on Saturday 15 July for a day-long Grassroots conference.

Address from our new Vice-President

The highlight of the day was an address from our latest vice-President, Dominic Grieve KC. He shared his passion for the UK’s membership of the European Union, and the reasons that we should, in due time, rejoin the bloc.

Data galore

The gathering was regaled with heaps of data regarding the Movement’s growing membership, the changing national attitude towards Brexit and many other things.

Later more data were shared with the workshop groups as they studied to understand how to engage with the local press, and how to shape your arguments to engage positively with those who disagree with you.

Branch represented

Mid Kent branch was ably represented by your Chair and your Treasurer. How might we persuade a few others to get involved?
