Lid Dems to host climate change meeting

ole0Lembit Öpik MP and Mick Bates AM are inviting Montgomeryshire residents to discuss climate change and Copenhagen at a public meeting in Machynlleth alongside Oxfam Cymru and the Centre for Alternative Technology.  The meeting will be held in the Mary Cornelia Suite at Plas Machynlleth on Aberystwyth Road at 7:30pm on Friday, December 11.

As the Copenhagen Climate Change Conference gets underway the meeting offers an opportunity for Montgomeryshire residents to engage with the climate change agenda and discuss the impact of climate change in Wales and the developing world as well as the progress of the Copenhagen Conference.  Guest speakers will include delegations from Oxfam Cymru and the Centre for Alternative Technology – who will also be providing a live link-up to CAT representatives at Copenhagen.

Mick Bates AM added: “With the Copenhagen Climate Change Summit taking place, climate change is high on the agenda in Wales and Worldwide.  The meeting will be an excellent opportunity for people across Montgomeryshire to get together and discuss their views on climate change, with the exciting chance to listen to discussions live from the Copenhagen Conference!”

Everyone welcome to the meeting, there is no need to book in advance.  For more information please call the Liberal Democrat office on 01686 625527.
