There is no stopping the BNP in Somerset. Sunday, January 4^th, saw members and supporters from Somerset and the Mid-West hold their first meeting of 2009 in the city of Wells.

Guest speakers were Salisbury organiser Mr Mike Chant, followed by BNP National Treasurer Ms Jennifer Noble.

Ably chaired by North Somerset contact and Euro election candidate, Mr Perry Parsons, the meeting kicked off with Mr Chant’s interesting talk on his role as Salisbury organiser.

He explained how Salisbury BNP has grown very quickly in a short time. This was, he said, due to the hard work his team of activists have put into building the party in South Wiltshire.

After an excellent buffet and music (from the best known British military bands) Mr Parsons introduced Ms Noble. She spoke about her role as national treasurer and gave a detailed account of her responsibilities.

Ms Noble also gave an indication of the financial implications of fighting the upcoming elections, and of how she and her finance team work long hours to make it all possible.

She told the audience of her experiences when she lived in Birmingham, and of how members of her family fought in the great wars to defend our nation and freedom. Finishing off with a rousing call on all present to defend and cherish our way of life, Ms Noble’s speech was met with a well-deserved round of applause.

The substantial collection was given a welcome boost with the auctioning of a framed picture designed by organiser Andy Bamford. Finally a very successful raffle was held to finish off the first of this year’s BNP activities in one of Britain’s most beautiful regions.
