National media coverage is obviously devoted to major political stories at Westminster. However political parties need grass roots presence to recruit members and supporters. Local events are also essential for keeping teams cohesive and motivated.
On Sunday 8 July 2018, CMF Executive Secretary Shaheen Thantrey did her bit for the local Conservative Party by hosting the Chipping Barnet Conservatives Brunswick Park Summer Party at her home.
