SUPER SWAYTHLING

Wow - what a day.

SANDRA'S SOFA went to Swaythling on Saturday (7 Nov) with the rest of the Action Day team, and what a SOFA SURGERY it was! The surgery ran for twice the advertised time as so many people came to see Sandra, either with a concern, or to just have a chat and wish her all the best and show their support.

A huge thank you to everyone that came along.

On Sofari !

7th October
What a day - on "Sofari" around some of the villages in the north of the constituency. All the sofa surgeries were very well attended despite heavy rain.

Our first stop was Kings Somborne - thank you to the proprietors of the Crown Inn. Not only for letting us use your car park, but for the very welcome coffees! This surgery was so well attended that it went on for longer than planned. Thank you to everyone for waiting patiently.

The next stop was Stockbridge and the car park of the White Hart. Thanks again to the proprietors. The rain was so heavy here that the sofa stayed in the back of the car and the sofa surgeries became 'front of car' surgeries. Despite the weather, this surgery was a great success with people turning out to raise their issues with their MP that once again we overran the allotted time.

The final stop of the day was in Chilbolton - an extremely pretty village. Here the rain did its worst, but Sandra was still able to speak to a few people and now has a new follower on twitter!

If you would like Sandra and the sofa to come to your village please contact Sandra's constituency office Tel: 01794 511900 or email info@sandragidley.org

Lovely Lockerley


Monday 28th Sept

Today the sofa went to Lockerley.
What a fantastic morning!
Sandra and the sofa were at the Village Hall and enjoyed coffee and biscuits from the newly opened Community Coffee Shop. A great idea that is already being well used and a super way of bringing people together.
The sofa surgery was very well attended. Many people had serious issues that they needed to raise with their MP, others just popped by to say hell
o to Sandra.
A great morning - thank you Lockerley

Life's a Beach

Friday Sept 18th.
Great afternoon on the beach at Bournemouth. The first Sofa Surgery where a man in a wetsuit came to chat to Sandra! Lots of people turned up to sit on the sofa - the sofa's fame is spreading - there was even a look-a-like sofa lurking in Mrs Gidley's hotel room!
