Thanks again Howard, yes, I have been "away" for some time due to travelling abroad, getting married and one or two other things. I found that I did not really have the time necessary to properly carry out my former duties as the "old" UKIP Branch Sec., so I am now just a bog standard member of the branch, no more no less. I am in no way a spokesman for the new branch that has started up and in fact have missed a few of their meetings due to my overseas travels.
However, it`s good to have a chance to reply to some of our old friends and europhiles on here!
I`m sure that in time you`ll hear more from the "officials" of the new party although that`s not up to me of course!
