The Welsh Nation The Best Ever Conference By Gareth Clubb, Plaid Cymru Chief Executive
I
t was “the best ever conference” according to one AM. “And I’ve been to a great many conferences!”
There was an undeniable sense of excitement as more members than ever before – 380 of you – flooded through the Galeri gates to hear superb speeches and motions. The contributions from our elected members were splendid, as you would expect. But we also had inspirational speeches from our special guests, Tommy Sheppard from the SNP and Josep-Maria Terricabras MEP from Catalonia. What are the elements that ensure a successful conference? Hard work by dedicated Plaid Cymru staff behind the scenes putting everything in order. We thank them enormously. We’re also fortunate to have so many eloquent elected members who are able to inspire us. But the biggest thanks goes to you, our members. It is you who share our vision of
a better Wales, a fairer Wales and a Wales that takes its rightful place on the international stage. It’s you who works for the party, come rain or shine, because of your commitment to our fellow citizens and our country. So thanks for coming to our conference and taking part in the festivities. Forward, with confidence, to a brighter future.
