MANORBIER

THE AGM of the Manorbier and District Conservative Association was held recently. After his election as president, Milton Bradley-Kidd took the chair for the election of officers and thanked everybody for their help throughout the year. The elections were as follows: chairman Clive Mathias, vice chairman Douglas Benham, secretary Jackie Barnett, treasurer Joan Beddoes, press officer Molly Bradley-Kidd, executive members Clive Mathias, Malcolm Calver and Vernon Evans, Constituency Women's Council Molly Baker. During the meeting, considerable disquiet was expressed over the sudden resignation of the candidate selected for the Welsh Assembly Election to be held next year, and that it was hoped that the matter would be fully investigated.
